BUYING GUIDES
A router modem combo, also known as a gateway, can be a great choice for simplifying your home network setup. These devices combine a modem, which connects your home network to the internet, and a router, which distributes the internet connection to your devices, into a single unit. However, with a variety of options available, selecting the right one can be challenging. Here’s a guide to help you make an informed choice:
1. Compatibility with ISP: The most important factor to consider is whether the combo is compatible with your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Check the product specifications or consult with your ISP before purchasing.
2. Download and Upload Speeds: These speeds should match or exceed the speed of your internet plan. The download speed is generally more important as it affects how quickly you can load webpages, download files, and stream video.
3. Wi-Fi Standards: Look for a combo that supports at least 802.11ac (also known as Wi-Fi 5), which is faster and more efficient than the older 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4). If your devices support it and your budget allows, consider a device that supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) for even better performance.
4. Number of Bands: Dual-band devices can broadcast on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies, reducing interference and improving performance. Tri-band devices offer an additional 5 GHz band for even less interference.
5. Ethernet Ports: Check how many Ethernet ports the combo provides for wired connections. If you have several devices that need wired connections, make sure there are enough ports.
6. Security Features: Look for a combo with built-in security features such as a firewall and WPA3 encryption. Some models may also offer parental controls or the ability to set up a guest network.
7. Coverage: If you have a large home or struggle with Wi-Fi dead zones, consider a combo with a high-powered router or a mesh system to improve coverage.
8. DOCSIS Standard: If you’re using cable internet, look for a combo that supports at least DOCSIS 3.0. If your internet plan is very high-speed (over 300 Mbps), consider a DOCSIS 3.1 device.
9. Price: Prices for router modem combos can vary widely. Set a budget that balances your needs and the features you want.
10. Brand and Reviews: Some well-regarded brands in the router modem combo market include Netgear, ARRIS, and Motorola. Be sure to read reviews for insights into the device’s performance and reliability.
In conclusion, the best router modem combo should balance speed, coverage, and security to suit your specific needs. By considering the factors above, you’re well on your way to choosing the perfect combo for your home network. Happy shopping!
