Good Morning! I picked up the Motorola SB6183 modem from Wal-Mart yesterday for $99.99 but didn't realize that it's not wifi. Does anybody recommend a good wireless router?
I am using the Netgear R6100 router and have had zero issues with it. Think it's about $70 through Amazon or Newegg with free shipping. I paid about $85 for mine at Costco a while ago. Doubt they still have them.
May be much better routers out there but this one works for me. http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-AC1200...r+r6100+router

There was a quirk where I had to have it clone the MAC address of the router, but other than that, it was an easy set up and it seems to work well. Remember to change the password !
By the time that takeover goes through we should have google fiber and AT&T installed pretty much everywhere in the Triangle so I will be long gone from TW.

I just splurged and bought a Linksys Router (AC1900, I believe). It's a little more than I'd normally spend (about $125) but honestly it's provided impressive coverage. I am now able to get a reliable wifi signal throughout my house, even my office which is located on the furthest point away from the device.
As much as I don't love TWC, I'm loving my 300 mb up and 20+ mb down connectivity these days.
I did end up getting the TP Link Arch C7 Router from Wal-Mart.
A TWC tech just came by my house in Garner to check my speed. He did manage to get over 200 download speed hardwired to his computer. Over wifi, he only could get up to 90. The same with me. He lives in Clayton and that's all he can get at his house and he works for TWC LOL.
He recommended for me to downgrade my plan from Extreme to Turbo since I can only get close to 100 download speed. I just did so over the phone.
I hope Google does come to all of Garner. I don't how much more of TWC's crap I can take any more.
