Buy New Router N300 WNR2000V5
I presently have a Netgear N300 Wnr2000V2 Router. I am experiencing very slow connections and Spectrum suggested replacing it with a N300 Wnr2000V4 or N300 Wnr2000V5. Are these still available and if...

I think $49 for a gigabit capable RAX35 would be way under budget 🙂 and a massive upgrade versus the WNR2000 or the R6120.
Performance on both of those is pretty anemic but the RAX35 has some pretty solid speeds. Only downfall is its a 2x2 antenna device but has 160hz wide channels. Again, still way above the other devices.

Does that fit in with the $100 budget?

plemansand michaelkenward I want to thank you both for all your help. I did buy the Netgear RAX35 from Walmart as suggested and am extremely pleased. I had a little trouble getting it up and running. Instead of about 30 minutes it took me about 2 hours but all is well. Operator error on my part and impatience were to blame. With the new router I am getting 586 mbps (Spectrum advertised at 500mbps) measured with speed check from Spectrum and AT&T on my computer hard wired to router and also speed check on my cellphone with Nethawk using WiFi. Could not ask for more.

Glad to see it up and working well for you!
Sounds like its a big step up in terms of speed/performance.
Let us know if you have other issues with it. I'd probably check the AX forum first to see if anyone else has that issue.
I'd also probably post on there for issues with the RAX as its an AX device. 🙂
