Modem Router upgrade
I purchased a NIGHHAWK Modem Router AC1900. Built in DOCSIS 3.0 on Amazon. We now have XFinity in our new home. I purchased a plan with Download speeds up to 1200 MBPS and Upload speeds up to 35 MBP...

I just bought a Netgear Nighthawk CAX30 at Costco for $250, that would be your cheapest option and will give you download speeds of up to 2.7 Gbps. It has WiFi 6 and DOCSIS 3.1 so it should be future proof for the forseable future. The CAX30 appears to be identical to the CAX30S and is sold only at Costco. It is an excellent modem/router and most people report they are getting higher download speeds after switching to this modem. I am getting 10% higher speeds than I'm suppose to be getting based on my Xfinity plan. The CAX30 WiFi signal is extremely strong everywhere in my house so that I no longer need to use a WiFi extender that was needed with my previous router due to weak signal in parts of my house. Highly Recommended. If money is no object and you want the best than buy the CAX80 which costs $430 and will give you download speeds of up to 6 Gbps.
