Good morning/afternoon/evening RB IT brainstrust,
I need some advice on a new WiFi modem for my place.
The other day I bought a couple Chromecast Ultra's and got Netflix. During the installation process, the Chromecast's advised that if I want to have the best experience streaming 4K I need to get a 5Ghz modem.
Started looking at them and I can't really work out what I'm looking for or add, as as far as I see there are 5Ghz modems from $150 through to $700 and I don't understand the difference.
Any help or recommendations would be great.
It's for home use and the router lives in my study which is in a central location to the house. Essentiallyall devices that need to have a signal are within a 20m radius and in most cases just one internal wall away.
There are approximately 9 devices that access the network on wifi; 2 x Laptops, 2 x mobiles, 1 x tablet, 2 x chromecasts and 2 x printers.
I would like something that would be capable of streaming 4K to at least two devices simultaniously.
I'm in a smart community so the internet connection is optical. Ideally I wouldn't want to be spending more than $250 on the modem if possible.
Really appreciate any advice on what to look for, or outright suggestions.
Thanks in advance
