Searching for a new modem, here are some suggestions.
Hi, I’m based in Australia and still not satisfied with my current setup after switching to NBN. I’m considering upgrading the modem instead. I’ve looked at two options: one from TP-Link AD7200 and another from Netgear Nighthawk Pro. Both seem promising, but I’m still unsure. My priority is range; speed isn’t as important for me. My home is large and has a brick construction, which makes traditional extenders impractical without significant expense. I’m currently experiencing dead spots in parts of the house where Wi-Fi doesn’t reach well. I’m looking for something under $400 AUD. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
If you need an Asus modem for your internet, I’d suggest it. My setup uses a router instead of a modem, and I connect to the hub through a modem-only mode provided by my ISP.
You're seeking a fresh wireless router or access point instead of a modem. For wide coverage and consistent speed across expansive spaces—particularly with challenging environments like thick walls—connecting several wireless access points to a single router is often the best strategy. Position each AP on separate channels to avoid interference while maintaining a unified SSID for simplicity. Using just one router will limit both performance and reach as distance or obstacles grow. Before investing heavily in one device, explore other options. Relying on someone else's setup isn't always reliable; American homes typically lack the dense concrete or brick walls found inside, so wireless signals tend to stay stronger. Additionally, each home’s configuration differs. If you could provide a basic floor plan with distances, we could offer more tailored guidance.
