Need advice on a router/modem with strong coverage?
I am replacing a Cisco dpc3941t router/modem and a bunch of pods I rent from Xfinity. I have a two floor condo with some stucco walls and some concrete cinder block firewalls within the walls. ...
I'd advise to get seperate modem and router. More flexible option. Something like an R7800 router and a CM1000 or CM1200 modem. But first check which modems your ISP supports
I'm with microchip8, se[arate bi8ts arfe more versatile.
When it comes to finding a router, a good place to start is with the product pages. Fill in your needs and circumstances, and see what comes up.
Routers here:

Fancier stuff with a focus on wifi here:

See what takes your fancy, and what fits in with your budget. Then check this place for users views. (But remember this place is where people bring problems, not praise.) And see if you can find a review site that covers what you are thinking of buying.
- I've been researching for a router since my Netgear router was bricked during a firmware update recommend by the Netgear app. I don't think it will be another Netgear, the router I have been researching is the eero pro, looks like it's getting very good reviews. I loved the Netgear router I had but was soured by the Netgear response of too bad sorry our firmware bricked your router, it's not our fault or problem. Check out the eero pro, I think it's the one that I will probably go with, when I do I'll post the results so everyone knows if it's worth it.

Never ever do that. Your second mistake is using WiFi to do the update. Again, never ever do that no matter what router brand you have
