Nighthawk router worth it? I will get a modem too
Currently in the market for used modem and routers. I am thinking about getting a night hawk router ac1900 used for cheap under 50 if I can. Then I will probably need a modem too. Now I am pretty ignorant to modem and routers but want something that is good since I am a gamer and plan to use this for a long time. Does it matter what modem and router I buy or can it all be used regardless of the internet providing company?
I will be moving into a new place so need internet.

It needs to be compatible with your isp. Without knowing your isp you don't know if its fibre, dls, cable, etc.
those are key when picking a modem.
Contact the isp and they'll be able to tell you what's compatible or direct you to a list.
It might also be worth checking as some ISP's will give you a free modem versus some charge for a modem.
