[QUOTE="Coiled03, post: 16526025, member: 18779"] I finally told Comcast/Xfinity to **** off yesterday, and cut the cord. At the same time, I signed up for fiberoptic internet. As part of all this, I can no longer use the cable modem/router combination I was using because it uses co-ax cable, whereas the fiberoptic modem doesn't. So, I'm going to have to buy a router, it looks like, and I need some suggestions. I'm looking for: 1) Coverage for a 4-bedroom, two story house with a basement; about 2500 ft^2 total, the vast majority in the upper two levels. 2) I'd like around 1500 Mbps though more would be better. 3) A USB port for a poor man's NAS. I'd prefer USB 3.0, but would settle for 2.0. 4) Parental controls built in. I like Circle for this, but I think there are other options. Since I cut the cord, primary uses will be web browsing, and streaming TV/movies, if it matters. The other option, I guess, is to just use the pods/extenders my ISP offers, and find another way to set up the NAS. I'm just not familiar with a way to do that without a router that's not much more expensive and complex. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
