I currently have a Vodafone WiFi hub and a hardwired TP link AP. It’s struggling at times, mainly due to many smart home devices and my sons PC gaming. The gaming PC is hardwired to the main router, but he getting of lot of issues with lag etc, which I think is due to the router struggling with everything else on the network.
So I’m looking to invest in a decent router, just not sure what to do in terms of the modem. As most home routers now don’t have a modem built in, do I;
1) Buy a new router with the modem built in.
2) Buy a new router, connect to the existing router but use that as a modem only.
3) Buy a new router and buy a new modem.
Budget is around £300. What would be my best option? I’m not to fussed about the over priced, designer looking, mesh systems. Just a solid router modem, as I can add further AP’s via the Ethernet I have running around my house. Thanks.
