Tired of my cable company charging a rental fee for their wireless router+modem combo. I'm just going to buy my own.
What modem+wireless router combo should I get, and why?

Bump. This is also relevant to me.
wdr4300 for wireless N dualband
or archer c7 for AC
pretty much the best there is. and use stock firmware if you want fiber speeds, custom firmware can't do hardware NAT on any router
Those are the routers, but what would we need for a modem?
DSL-AC68U
It just werkz. Fuck TP-Link.

Just get something cheap for the modem, as long as it's supported by your ISP (they'll normally have a list on their website) and supports the speed you're paying for.
Here's woot selling one for $20:

What router brand has the "best" firmware? I'm looking for features, performance and stability.
I have a 100mbps connection.

i recommended this anon, go with arris modem + separate router like archer c7. but if u want combo there's cheap tplink/netgear capable for docsis 3.0 coaxial.

ARRIS SURFboard SB6183 DOCSIS 3.0 (modem)
Buy a cheap intel nuc and use it as a router/firewall with PFsense(router)
As for the wireless AP buy a ubiquity nanostation.

fitting tripcode
the modem is a good pick, but remember if you're on FiOS you don't have a modem you have a MOCA box and likely an ethernet drop so you can skip this. the rest is a neat idea but ultimately autistic because nobody has time to setup a pfsense box.
whatever router you pick, turn off the wireless and plugin a real access point (you can get a cisco 1142N off ebay for <$30) and you'll be a happy camper

And you have a network.

Nanostation is easier and it has better range.

OnHub router
probably a Motorola modem
