About to buy Arris s33 Docsis 3.1 + TP Link Deco Axe5400 TriBand 6e Mesh - is this a good combo for my needs? - eviltoast

My wife and I work from home and typically have a few other devices on at the same time (smartphones, smart tv, a few Alexa’s, etc.)

Our modem is 5 years old and router is 4 years old. I notice my zoom calls freezing for 3-5 seconds every 20-30 minutes when I’m on them, which is more problematic than you’d think. WiFi strength upstairs is weaker than downstairs. Internet seems just a little laggy/buggy at times. Would these two products be worth the purchase?

    If you’re on Comcast / Xfinity, and if you’re in one of their “enhanced” service markets, then you might want to consider the Hitron Coda56 modem, which is on their approved list for faster upload speeds. If not, the S33 is perfectly acceptable.
