Hello and thank you for your response. Both the Modem and the Router have the provider's name on them SPECTRUM. As for wired or wireless connection between the existing router and the new device, I need it to be wireless as I do not have an additional cable going between the existing router on the first floor and the second floor. As for speed and latency, I'm really just looking for the extra coverage, however faster/lower latency is a bonus I wouldn't mind.
I purchased the AX1800 WiFi Router (R6700AX) for my brother this past November I was amazed how simple it was to set it up as an extension of his home network out to a barn. Less than $100, great price.... I am thinking this might be a good solution for my home and my father-in-law's home. Just want some expert advice. Many thanks for your help.
