Just last week I updated our home router because the router from 2010 was starting to lock up. Did the usual so it was time. I used this article for inspiration.

So a few reviews later I have a new router then the usual update the firmware and it's so much better. For me the TP-LINK Archer C7 plus your airport may be all that's needed.

i have a home network that has become cluttered. looking for some advice. The existing setup is as follows:
ISP modem: SMC D3GN (bridge mode)
supplied by shaw in canada. This device runs to our existing stuff:
a linksys WRT54G2V1 (wireless G router)
no sure how its config'd.
a Dlink dir 655 as an access point
We also have an airport express base station (older)(model #A1264) this is wired to the link sys router at this time.
this seems like a rats nest. how do i clean it up a bit? I've just ran cat 6 throughout our entire home. I've got apple tv (running wirelessly) and an all in one wired to the link sys. any help would be greatly appreciated. this could be way cleaner IMO
