A lot of bad information posted here. Some posts claim if you have a 100Mb internet speeds any router will do. Others claim my 5 year old router works fine. Other claims that any router will do. All of these posts are far from the truth. Anybody can go to Best Buy or Amazon and get a router on special and they think they will be saving $$$. Then later on, they will be like the dozens of posts claiming their wifi is slow, no coverage, or sometimes doesn’t even work.
If you don’t know what these words mean, you shouldn’t be setting up a router: 802.11a/b/g/ac/ax, wifi 6/wifi6e, ssid, 2.4/5ghz, mesh network, dual/tri band, bridge (wired/wireless), any of these basic network topics.
1 more thing, a router does much more than just interfacing your isp’s modem, they provide more wifi coverage at greater speeds as an example.
Hiring the geek squad/galaxy/spectrum/xfinity to setup your network is a waste of money and you can do just as good of a job as they vendors can do.
