Recommendations for a New Wi-fi router

My laptop was slowing down a litte over the past few days so I called the Spectrum customer service and set up an appt for a tech to come out to the house. While this guy spotted an issue in out outside box, he highly suggested us get something called google mesh?? Never heard of it before and just said I will look into it. I did ask him will it help in our situation and he replied F yeah...then quickly apologized for searing and I laughed. His excitement for me was compelling enough to now looking to see what to do? I remember a while back looking at one thing called nighhawk or blackhawk and am now asking those that have upgraded their wi fi router and eliminated the 5.00 a month fee to their cable provider. That 5.00 a month will take a lotta months to make up for the purchase of any real deal gadget but savings on my wi fi bill are not what I'm after, a kick but signal all through the house is! Any ideas are welcome and appreciated a lot. Looking online but would take members experience here even more serious...as long as you ain't steering me to Rosie's Silver Highway in the sky.......we'll be fine! Thanks

PS Google mesh sounds and looks icky to me. I am not into alexa stuff in my house so help me out please!! And I don't like white gear. Black gear matters!!

Anything meshed is the way to go.
Consistent high performance. Superior coverage.
I like Linksys Velop...
Get a separate modem that is supported by your carrier.
I get consistently 175 Mb/sec throughout my house and outside too.

Use a nighthawk and have no issues- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

Thanks brother, I just ordered the
Linksys AC6600 Whole-Home Mesh Wi-Fi System.
The rep said it will work fine with my Spectrum modem, unless you suggest a different modem too?? Now I have the ARRIS model TG1672G ?? Get rid of that too??"if it's not fun, it's not worth it & remember folks, "It's All About The Music"!!

I still have the Netgear AC1750 I was selling, happy to let you try it out if you want. How big is your house?
Oops, never mind, just saw your post
So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?
