We had a house fire and are getting our place rebuilt. I have cat 5 cable being ran need some advice on setting up the wireless network. We have a 2 Story home and use Comcast as our Internet provider. The cable modem on router are going in a closet downstairs.
I have had pretty good luck with Netgear and was able to get an R8000 router at a good price. I was also considering their Orbi line but it was more expensive. I was wondering, if I have the R8000, if I can put another wired ethernet wireless device upstairs (running ehternet to the R8000) to ensue connectivity? Or would I be better to sell the R8000 and get the Orbi Router and Satellite RBK50? I understand they can be wired.
For a cable modem, I initially thought I would get a Motorola MB8600. The folks at Netgear are recommending their CM1000.
Let me know your ideas for the best setup. I notice Netgear says their devices are Amazon Echo enabled as well. Guess I am wondering how Echo could work with these things?
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!
