What is the current recommended cable modem/router with WiFi support?
As of today's date, Feb. 11 2018, what is the best modem/router for the connection described below? Alternatively if someone has recommendations with configuring the router/modem described below that will improve the wifi speed, that would suffice, and thank you in advance. We just need to stabilize the wifi connections. I have been a renewed customer since 9/2017, with Preferred 100 Internet service, no bundles, not extras, just the Internet. At that time I bought the modem/router Cox recommended, an 8 X 4 Motorola MG7315 DOCSYS 300, to set up the service. The connections are an iPod, a wireless printer, this Ubuntu laptop, and off and on 2-3 phones, rarely I sometimes power up an iPad2 (rarely, because it is not of much use to me.) Although we very rarely get anything close to 100 mbps, hardwired connections are "good enough." We have always had difficulties with wireless. Just getting here took 45-60 seconds per page load. I have done my homework and explored all the support documents and help files I have patience for. It seems to come and go in spurts, sometimes the response is immediate but most times, dreadfully 1995. I am a web developer by trade and fairly tech savvy, but networking is not my area of expertise. I know how to reboot the modem and take a best shot at finding support. I have only touched one thing in the router wifi settings: in Wireless->Basic changing Bandwidth from 20mhz to 40Mhz and rebooting gives some temporary relief, but it always seems to slow down again in a very short time. Support gave me a song an dance about how this modem is not good enough, and offered zero assistance on reviewing the settings for the current modem/router. So, okay, let's throw more money at it I guess (??)
