For the past week, I have been moving into a new apartment. While doing so, I switched internet providers and realized that I needed to get a new cable modem and router. I eventually settled on the TP-LINK Archer C7 AC1750 Dual Band Wireless AC Gigabit Routerand the Netgear DOCSIS 3.0 High Speed Cable Modem (CM400-100NAS).
My choices were largely influenced by http://thewirecutter.com/. This is the best review site I have ever seen. For the router, I just went with the recommendataion given in http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-wi-fi-router/. Easy.
For the cable modem, http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-cable-modem/. I went with the runner-up. The winner supported lots of different internet providers, which wasn't important to me. The runner-up was in stock at a local best buy, so that's what I went with.
I like how the reviews take into account reviews/complaints found on other sites, like amazon. This is something I would normally do, but thewirecutter does it for you. There isn't a review for every single item under the sun, but if the wirecutter has already reviewed something that you are looking to buy, I highly recommend it for its depth and ease of understanding.
