You can usually get a better setup by buying the modem and router together. They often come bundled, but checking local stores or online retailers can help you find options under $250.

Your home setup consists of typical materials like concrete blocks or wood.

Separation is always preferable, though they also provide combined packages. Modems match the service type you have (xDSL, Cable, 4G/5G). Without knowing your ISP or service details I can't suggest any products. Also, sometimes you can't change the ISP provider, like with AT&T Fiber.
