Need help with dsl modem selection

I recently purchased a AC1900 router but it doesn't work with my old dsl router/modem. What would be the best choice of modem to get the most out of this router.

Thanks in advance.

Which AC1900 router? Netgear makes several with that wifi standard.

 

Look for the Model Number (M/N) on the back.

The first thing you should do, is check with your ISP, to see what modems they sanction, and pick from that list.

But remember that ISPs won't be up to date in their lists of supported devices. You may even find that they recommend something obsolete that you can't buy any more.

 

When you have looked at the ISP's suggestions, you could also look to see if there is a forum where fellow users share their experiences. There is a good chance that they will have more experience with newer modems than the ISP itself.
