    Looking for Modem/wireless router

    Currently i'm using comcast xfinity modem/wireless router. I really don't know much about modem/wireless routers.
    My pc is hard wire to the modem, but i use the wireless for my cell phone and streaming netflix and my roommate has his phone and tablets connected to it as well.
    The wireless part is ok, but it doesn't have much range.

    Instead of paying comcast to rent a modem i would like to buy my own.

    But i'm also not looking to spend and arm and a leg for one.

    Maybe something in the range $100 to maybe $150.

    I would like it last for a while so that i can get my monies worth and hopefully it won't go crap on me in a YR. Easy to use and has the bells and whistles for it's price, dependable etc.

    I'm looking to buy on amazon cause i have gift cards and i don't have to use my money

    I bought the Motorola SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 High-Speed Cable Modem and couldn't be happier. I have 30Mbps internet and I have convinced other friends to get it and setup their systems with speeds over 50Mbps. No issues, no complaints. For wireless I use the ASUS RT-AC66U, expensive and amazing. Something like the RT-N66U would do great also.

    If your budget allows I would buy this combo. But that's because I've always been a fan of having those devices seperate. I'm sure you will get a lot of varying opinions on this.

    Just my $.02, hope this helps. Hit me up if you have any questions.
