Hi I’m sort of tech savvy but I would still label myself a beginner.

I was annoyed at my internet speeds being low so I upgraded my speeds to gigabit then I realized that I needed to upgrade my router/ modem combo I have a Netgear AC1900.

My question is I know I need to upgrade my hardware to get the best speeds I can but should I get a combo modem/router or separate router & modem.

What would you suggest for a budget of about $250-$300. I’m in a 1bed apartment that’s about 900sqft. I do gaming and streaming & it’s about 12 devices connected. Also I have xfinity gigabit internet.

Thanks for your help.
