Hello i run a setup with a modem from my internet provider and an old router i have bought myself.
The network is a home network with 2 computers connected to it through wire and 1 wirelessly.
There were always problems with the internet dropping out randomly or loading pages only halfway and stopping to respond but lately it started to be worse and i decided to upgrade,the problem is i have no idea how those 2 correlate to each other.
Do i have to use the modem provided by my internet provider or can i upgrade it myself?
is there any need to do so or i will be fine upgrading just the router?
can i upgrade to a completely wireless router if currently im running a wired connection with a wired modem?
what about modem/router in one combos?
sorry for all the questions and thanks in advance.
 
Solution
1. try using only modem from your ISP to your computer, if the problems gone then its your router. (go buy new one or try reset and setup your router again)

2. if the problem persist then its your ISP modem. (call your ISP and ask for modem replacement)
