Advice for router and access point selection
Advice for router and access point selection
Looking for router options near $50 with solid performance. I’m leaning toward buying my own since I want more control and better deals. Suggested models around $70 work well too—check for solid build quality and decent specs. Access points in that range are available if you need one, but a router should cover your needs.
What kind of connection are you looking for? Cable, DSL, ADSL, VDSL, fiber, or just a router with APs? No modem needed. Just want to confirm we’re not suggesting anything that won’t work (like an Ethernet-only router if you actually get vDSL).
So you'll have an ONT that converts to ethernet then? I've seen some people get fiber over vDSL or other mediums so I want to double check
It's a nightmare that ISPs insist on calling things fibre when they're not. It also turns explaining genuine fibre to people into a hassle, since a beginner won't grasp the distinction. The main differences are: Guaranteed connection speed (though not always real-world accuracy), More consistent reliability, Less delay.
