Hi guys,

I am looking to get a new modem / router. Currently I am using an old Telkom 300WR modem.

My uses have changed a bit where I have started streaming.

So, my question is that what modem / router (combo or separate modem and router) would you guys recommend. Specific models if possible please.

I currently have a 4meg line with Telkom and Vox as my ISP. Using my free data that I got with my Samsung TV purchase.

My needs are:
- Good and stable wifi coverage.
- Streaming HD as far as possible.
- Currently, there is on average 3-5 devices connected to the wifi at any given time. Sometimes increase to max 7 / 8.
- Budget wise, I am looking at not really anything more than R1 500. I am willing to look at secondhand as well. (Missed out on a TP Link Archer D7 on Carbonite recently. :))

I have tried to research, but still working through volumes of info.
 
tp-Link 8817 in bridged mode , and a tp-link archer c7 or similar as wifi access point and router , lightning strikes take out a R200 modem cheap fix.

D7 is awesome but i prefer a separate modem router build.

Why wont it travel through the LAN cable and destroy the archer.
