    New Internet Router?

    We have fiber and get 1gig service. I have had several routers provided by our ISP that seem to last for two years and die. Then they need to schedule a service call which means several days with no service. I would like to buy a router so when one dies I can just buy another and move on. Looking for suggestions.

    Who is your carrier? Most ISPs use something that is both your modem and your router/wifi device. Certain carriers will not let you use your own modem. In that case you would need to purchase a router and and put your modem in a passthrough mode so that your modem isnt doing the routing, switching, and wifi. I prefer the Asus brand for home use and make sure you get wifi 6 so you are on the latest standard. Something like this https://www.asus.com/us/networking-i...ters/rt-ax68u/ . If you dont put your modem in passthrough mode, you will be in a double NAT situation and your devices would not be able to connect to any cloud servers (like alexa, xbox,streaming devices etc...)
