Here’s a networking question for people: I want to upgrade my modem to something a bit more powerful, but it looks like things have moved on since last time I looked.

I had some business money a few years ago so I bought a Dream Machine Pro. Then I had to get an access point to make it work. So I’ve got an old consumer modem/router going into a dream machine.

Back in the day there was an ubiquiti rackmount modem that looked like the perfect pairing, but they have these gateways now that would make the dream machine somewhat redundant. There don’t seem to be any decent stand alone modems out now either to get instead.

Should I just get a gateway and move on the dream machine? Is it worth keeping? Is there some other option I’m missing or should look I to?
