Recommend a good router/modem combo please


Hi All,

So I'm going to ditch the Xfinity gear and buy my own modem/router combo. All brand new to me. I live alone and the only thing I stream for now is music. I have been checking them out and have been eying the Netgear Nighthawk CAX30. I also currently have 3 TPLink adapters and one of them is running my rig for my streamer. Will a new router/modem combo mess with this?

 

Any recommendations on that or any other unit? I should mention my home is just under 2200 sq feet and the signal kinda sucks in my house.

 

Thanks in advance, always appreciate those that take the time to respondsmiley

The mesh systems are great but as others have pointed out they can get expensive.  Since your end game is getting a cleaner signal to your streamer I would strongly consider an Ethernet filter.  It would go between your network switch and streamer.  

I recently added one and the bang for the buck is crazy.  Very big improvement in SQ.  There are lots to choose from at all different price points.  Sorry if this was a little off topic.  Good luck and cheers.
