Hi;
I have Optimum in northern NJ. We have an 'Altice' router (model F@st 5260CV), and a TP-Link C2300 router upstairs configured as an access point.
I would like to ditch the Optimum Altice router and install either the TP-Link C2300 in its place (configured as a router), then purchase a second router for upstairs (configured as an access point), or purchase a new router to serve in place of the Optimum Altice.
My reasons for wanting to have my own equipment are several:
What would you recommend?
Use the TP-Link C2300 as the main router, and purchase a second one for the access point, or purchase a new router to replace the Optimum Altice?
Thanks for your help

My reasons for wanting to have my own equipment are several:
- Save the $10/month
- Get back control of my network - Optimum will no longer allow me to change anything with the DHCP on its router. I want to set up some of my machines with static IP addresses, and cannot do this with the Optimum Altice router.
