In the house it's currently 3 people connected on the modem/router I believe the it's a modem and a router because we are able to connect to it wirelessly and it connects directly to the wall. We have comcast & every time a lot of people are using the internet my connection on my computer always get slower (or I assume that's the issue). I have a coax cable plug in the room I want to set up my router in, but I am wondering if I set up a modem in my room that my ISP supports and connect a router to it how would I go about being sure I receive the connection from my ISP like it is at the main point?
I am basically trying to set up a newtwork or subnetwork in the room. Would it be more efficient if I just used a switch to set it up and put the wireless switch in the room or would I need to use a wireless bridge to connect the network, which one would be quicker and more compatible. Also should i first determine if the modem is compatible with the router, I am trying to use a 802.11ac router and I am not finding any answers if the modem has to be compatible. I am looking for a router that will be backword compatible with 802.11g because that its the specification of my NIC which may be the delay of the issue on the network.
