If you had $50ish to spend on a router which would you pick?

2019-09-02 at 7:11 PM UTCSo I got it narrowed down to any of them on amazon.
I dunno what any of it means to tell if one is better than another.
I looked at these 4 for example but I dont understand how the $40 one does 3gbs while the $50 one only does 1,200 Mb per second.
And under Wireless Compatibility I dunno if that stuff says they are all the same and just using different words or if one if better than another.
Right now I got 2.4ghz and 5ghz altho I only ever seem to see the one avialable.
Do I need one that does radio signals?? Is that how a blue tooth works?
Im gonna use an earthnet cable anyways but I still wanna be able to use wifi to watch porn on my phone when I go take a shit .
Anyways I got to buy this shit today because I just found out I will probably have a lot less money tomorrow and if it came down to being hungry or having good internet it will probably be hunger cuz I want my internet.
So I gotta buy this today before I get hungry and confused.
Also, Obbo is really mad at me and is having trouble calling my computer.

2019-09-02 at 7:39 PM UTCIf you're replacing the cables router you probably need a router modem combo not just a router

2019-09-02 at 7:48 PM UTCYou can hook up 1 computer with a cable to a modem but if you want wifi you need a router modem.

Don't worry about specs, but TP link is good.I looked at these 4 for example but I dont understand how the $40 one does 3gbs while the $50 one only does 1,200 Mb per second.
I'm guessing they're lying about 3gbps, those speeds aren't possible with wifi, and even if they were your computer wouldn't support them.Right now I got 2.4ghz and 5ghz altho I only ever seem to see the one avialable.

You only need 2.4Ghz unless you live in someplace with insanely crowded wifi spectrum.
5Ghz is a nice add on, but completely pointless for 90% of people 90% of the time.Im gonna use an earthnet cable anyways but I still wanna be able to use wifi to watch porn on my phone when I go take a shit .
Just use an ethernet cable. All these routers you are looking at seem to be ones that plug into your cable router via an ethernet cable anyway.
I don't know if you can even buy a replacement cable router - all you buy is a router that plugs into your existing cable router. -
2019-09-02 at 7:56 PM UTCYou can buy your own modem/router, I have a motorola myself so I don't have to pay the $10 monthly rental

2019-09-02 at 8:05 PM UTCCable and I have a motorola surfboard modem and a separate linksys router.

2019-09-02 at 8:06 PM UTCI have basically fixed wireless, so coming from the dish is just an ethernet cord, and I have a WRT54GL attached, and then that goes to another few WRT 54GLS in the farm buildings. I have TPLink Deco throughout the house, which is one of those fancy mesh systems - but all the routing is done by a single WRT54GL. I wouldn't recommend my setup, but the bottleneck in my system is my internet connection - it maxes out around 20mbps, so it's not worth upgrading too much.

2019-09-02 at 8:09 PM UTCI also have a 4G modem - it is on a 750 Gigabyte for €30 a month 4G plan (jealous, Amerifats?) - and it does some serious heavy lifting with regard to torrents, but I keep it isolated from the network. Sometime I'll get a gateway and configure routes so all my torrent and youtube traffic goes through it, but not right now.

2019-09-02 at 8:20 PM UTCIt gets expensive to really do it right and you seem to have found a workable solution
