Which modem router is best to replace c3700?
I purchased my Netgear c3700 in 2014 and I need to replace it. The square footage it needs to cover is around 3000 sq. ft. I am considering either the c7000 or the c7500. Please advise me on the be...
In my opinion, I wouldn't replace it with a modem router combo. I don't like them combined as then the ISP controls the firmware and they usually don't update it for security. it does cost a bit extra to seperate out the modem and router but its worth it in ability to update the router, ability to replace a single one of the devices as needed, and the additional controls it gives you.
Additionally, if you're using quite a bit of bandwidth, 3000sqft is starting to push the limits of single router solutions.
