[Shop-talk] need a new router

[Tim .]

Thanks for the replies. Here is more information.

"Does your ISP not provide the router?  What exactly is it they provide? Just a bare cable hanging out of the wall?" Yes.  It's the coax that also feeds the TV. Their router costs too much every month. They already bleed me for the internet access.

 "What are your requirements?" Not sure on the MHz part. What would be recommended?

 We don't need guest access, two to three laptops, a couple smart phones. No smart TV yet. Once we need a new flat screen, it will be a smart TV. Everything wireless since the modem is in the basement.

 CNet.com and Tom's Hardware. I’ll check these two out for the units that you call can recommend. I'll be buying based on what you all suggest.

thanks again

tim

Subject: [Shop-talk] need a new router

This working from home has proven to me that I finally need to replace my very old router.

I don't want to have to go shopping for it but also know that my computer knowledge is dated and not even close to being up to date.

So, I need recommendations for a good home router that will be easy to configure.

I am pretty sure that I can get up to 100MB speed from our ISP so want to try to take advantage of that since both my wife and I are both working from home.

Thanks
stay healthy
