before my house burned down last fall i had a ea7500 linksys router and i have frontier fiber for internet. the Frontier FRX523 Optical Network Terminal and 2 erro routers.
i had xfinity and ran their modem/router before i switched and it ran my cameras well. but when i went to frontier that netgear modem/router just did not like the erro routers and would not work with them. so beining i had a linksys router setting on the shelf i gave that a try and it worked good with the erro routers and i bridged it to the frontier modem.
my question is this? i'm wondering if i should just go back to that setup or is there a bit better router that i might think about?
when i had xfinity i just used there modem/router for my cameras system and had a network system setup for the cameras. but when i got frontier it seems that netgear modem/router using just the router did not like to work alongside the erro routers, and i just could not bridge that to the frontier modem. so being i had that linksys router i bridged that to the frontier modem and that worked good alongside the erro routers.
so doe anyone know if there is a better router that will bridge to the frontier modem or work alongside the erro routers? or might i just get another ea7500 linksys router and go with what i know worked well? with the 2 erro routers and the linksys i did have good wifi coverage for the phone. now and then i would use the phone to check the cameras or if i needed to adjust them, but i did have a few spots that ran a bit slow for watching the cameras on my phone. just thinking out loud. i can ebay another linksys router cheap enough. thanks
