Internet provider will be Time Warner, plan to get greatest they have as far as speed.
I see you wrote ACxxx. Call me thick headed but can I have a number range, because there are so many I've read in the past few days that are netgear but don't or can't find right compatibility.

There are two ways to approach it.
- Get something closely matched to the capabilities of your Internet service. The Time Warner website says that it offers up to 50 Mbps in most locations, with 300 Mbps in a few, select locations. If we assume that you can get 50 Mbps, then you could get by with an AC750 or even a N600 class extender. The range of the slower extenders tends to be lower, so that's another thing to keep in mind.
- Get something closely matched to the capabilities of your C6300. That would call for either a AC1900 or a slightly slower AC1200 class extender. If you do a lot of heavy duty file transfers or streaming between computers inside your house, then this option may be worthwhile. Otherwise, it would be overkill relative to your Internet service; it would be the proverbial supercar limited to expressway speed limits vs the autobahn.
