Google Mesh is good, especially if you have other Google devices. You don't need to be tech savvy to set it up and manage it. They're pretty foolproof.You need a modem or a router? Your modem is usually provided by your ISP.
If it is indeed your modem, you need to specify what type of internet service you have (cable, DSL).
If it is your router, then I'm a big fan of our Orbi mesh router. But there are some good sales on Google's mesh routers this weekend that I've heard good things about as well.
Yes, it’s Mediacom. However, in a message announcing higher upload speed and increased storage, they simply suggested DOCSIS 3.1It's been a while since I had to purchase a modem, but I believe you also have to make sure that the modem you purchase is compatible with whoever your provider is. Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong, I think I haven't bought one in 10+ years. I believe your service provider will have a list of compatible devices.
You mean people aren't on Fiber yet?
Google Fiber in West Des Moines and soon in Des Moines will be a gamechanger. I've had Google Fiber in San Antonio for years, and as a result, other ISPs have not only decreased their prices but also increased their speeds around here. But I'm still gonna stick to Google.I get enough fiber in my diet, thank you.
Was a bit envious to see them adding fiber to a nearby burb while biking this summer. Not like I have any issues with my Comcast, it's fast and pretty reliable but it's priced like there is no competition, which there really isn't although Verizon is pushing their 5G home internet a lot.

Thanks, but my modem worked yesterdayI wish you had posted yesterday. There was a great Black Friday weekend deal on Amazon for a great cable modem for $60. I just checked and it’s out of stock now. Here is the link just in case you want to keep checking if it comes back in stock. https://a.co/d/11o0FfR
So, your MOdulator/DEModulator died (These haven't been around for ions. I get a kick out of how many things are mislabeled these days). That said, you need a router. And I'd recommend you get something YOU can manage. Most allow management, but ISPs generally discourage it because most people don't really know what they're doing. I stayed on Frontier's back until they upgraded me to a router which I have full control over. That enables me to tighten security, direct traffic, assign addresses, subnet my internal network and view more detailed logs (handy when I showed them where their problem was). All very handy things. Oh! And I can lock them (ie ISP) out which I also like.You need a modem or a router? Your modem is usually provided by your ISP.
