Firstly Do not confuse modem and router
Modem, also known as BTU or ONT, is the one that takes the fiber and converts it into an Ethernet Port for you to connect your router to
The router is the one who handles all the network connections and also gives you your WiFi
On newer setups, they give you a 2 in 1 device, that combines both into one
If your modem is faulty, call TIME and get them to replace it, free, lifetime warranty
If you want a new better router, firstly, what's your current router to compare with But for like 200 to 300, maybe consider a TP-Link AX53?

QUOTE(genjo @ Aug 17 2024, 01:14 PM) My TIME modem is fine, i just want a new one to have 2 in 1 function so i can discard the TIME default modem. So for you , which you recommend ? to have 2 in 1 or buy a router and bridge them ? 2in1 ones are not generally available for general public you could buy a 2nd hand time provided one or recontract to get one but it's not worth it to recontract and 2nd hand ones require advanced configuring and even then, most prefer modem + router seperate as it gives you more freedom to choose your own router keep the time provided modem and use a router that you like
