The Verizon business router can't hold up with my network use and sometimes overheats. I am looking to some how bridge the connection from the Verizon router to another router. I was looking at the netgear nighthawk. What router should I get for heavy wireless and wired use. 8+ active devices, lots of streaming and server hosting?
I'd see if you can cobble together a pfSense machine. You should be able to put the router in bridge mode and then just plug it into the WAN card on pfsense. For WiFi, you can use any normal wireless AP, but personally I recommend Ubiquiti.
