Hi, I own an HG8245H fiber modem with built-in Wi-Fi. During the pandemic, with many people nearby using their devices, I noticed strong interference via the WiFi analyzer app, which seems to be a significant issue. Additionally, since my room is on the opposite side of the apartment, the signal is weak—likely due to just two 2 dBi antennas on the modem. I was looking for a dedicated router and found the ASUS RT-AC59U. Because I have limited knowledge about internet hardware, I’m wondering if this model is a solid choice or if there’s a more affordable alternative in the same price range. Thanks in advance!
