So my S/O and I work from home, so reliability and range within the home is important. To give the quick stats: Range: roughly 1800 sqft Bandwith: able to support at least 500mbps Devices: Currently we have 30+ devices connected to it at one time (including tv’s, laptops, phones, IoT devices, etc. but want more than that for future proofing. Price point: hoping to stick within $100-$200 unless it’s truly worth the extra money
What is everyone’s specific recommendations for modem/router combos that fit these parameters? (And possibly any other features I may not be thinking about) Thanks in advance!
All 30+ devices connected via WiFi? I would start looking at connecting stationary devices via Ethernet cables, especially the computers for work, if you want reliability, WiFi can never be as reliable as hardwired cables.
I agree. Unfortunately the computers are in a different part of the house than the router. And the majority of the devices are mostly IoT (Alexa, nest, light bulbs, Ring etc) or mobile devices, all of which have no Ethernet in.
