it's crazy that the $50 router i bought in 2015 still provides better wi-fi stability than the brand new comcast modem. seriously i walk into the bathroom or walk downstairs my phone freaks the fuck out and just connects to the router instead.
@PurpCat yeah mine is a netgear too lol.
only downside is that i think its maximum ethernet speed is 800mbps, so when i download stuff from my roommate's pc it isn't as fast as it could be if he were directly wired into the modem like i am.
meanwhile this old netgear I had that was ac was stable as fuck
