Next router

I’ve settled into netgear and purchase a netgear modem last year to pair with my several year old nighthawk x6 AC3200 R8000. I think I might be able to upgrade and get more consistent coverage with a newer router. Off the top of my head, I’d say we have about 25 devices on the genie. In particular, we have connectivity issues with chromebooks and echo show. Interested in getting a new router and would appreciate any recommendations! Thanks

    are you looking for a modem/router combo device, just a router, just a modem, or a modem and a router separate? 

    who's your isp? 

    What speeds do you pay for? 

    How large of an area are you trying to cover?

    What works for you may not be any good for other people.

     

    Try plugging your needs into the filters on the product pages:

    Then check back here for reports on the things you are considering, but remember that people turn up in this community with problems, not compliments. So look at reviews on Amazon, for example.
