I have a Lantana and my xfinity modem/router is in the front bedroom for a couple of reasons. If you are only going to have 1 router in your house, this is the worst place to put the router.
Since I did enterprise networks years ago, I rewired all my cat6 wires from the original phone jacks to Ethernet rj45. I hook up a Ethernet cable from the xfinity router in the front bedroom (all cat6 cables terminate in the network box in the garage and I put in a 1G network switch to hook up all the cat6 cables in this box) and then I use the Ethernet jack above the refrigerator cabinets to go into a mesh network router which I place above the microwave so it broadcasts the wifi signal throughout the house more efficiently. I then hook up more mesh slave routers throughout the house. I get almost 800Mb wifi speeds anywhere in the house.
