 Ok guru,s  here is the jest of it.

I am using a suddenlink cable modem/ wifi router Arris DG950 supplied by suddenlink and settings locked

I am looking at getting a Surf Board cable moden and a Netgear wifi router.

I was reading that the independent setup was easy to do and would be a lot better than my current modem plus I will no longer have to pay the rent fee as the equipment is all mine.

Does anyone have suddenlink and have they done oe heard of this.

Best modem/router combo i've ever owned, never had to restart it atleast not in the last three months, and the wifi speed is like im on a wired connection. http://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/cable-modems-routers/C6300.aspx I use a netgear range extender so i can leave this modem/router combo at the computer and still have a 4 port switch somewhere else in the house.

I've got a Cisco DPC 3825 from my ISP in Canada (Shaw) bridged to  a TP-Link N600 (TL-WDR3600).  The Cisco router is limited to 100mps in wired mode, but I get over 120mbps wireless using the TP-Link. I've heard great things about the Arris SBG6580. Will call my ISP to exchange it for the Cisco, hopefully that will lower my ping enough to beat the XI master hacker, and former two-month member of the month, Budman. 

 

Rule of thumb if you are modem shopping: Ask if its fast enough to beat Budmad lol.

Ok so went with the TP-Link N600 ac/750 wifi router

It has dual band also

I put my phone and gaming pc on the 5g connection

And everything else in the house on the 2.4 connection

Also enabled the guest channel my any visitors lol.

 Works great next I want to replace the cable modem with the Surfboard SB6141

As it looks very promising.

Thanks for all the input
