Hi all,

I’m not the most tech savvy person when it comes to networking so I was looking for some advice on a budget router to purchase.

I just bought an Arris S33 to pair with a 600mbps service. The router will be for a 1,300 sqft apartment and as far as use, some online gaming but mostly streaming and surfing.

What would you all suggest as a good budget router to pair that will help me maximize the network?

RTAX88u or whatever they are calling their AX88 series now.

I agree with that. And for best performance, centralize it as well as you can. Avoid burying the router in the cabinet under the TV in the corner of the living room.
