Not talking about adding on a router to my exiting modem, but completely replacing it. I want to change up my current Cisco EPC3925 to something different.

Can you define extending, i bought a tp link powerline for the room i wish to put a router in but the speed is barely different and i dont know why or how to get the speed to the maximum potential the powerline should be at. Virgin media offered it to me when i rang about technical difficulties the other day

You'll never get the speed the powerline states on the box.

The 3925 craps out because one of the components overheats. Strap a small fan to the top of the casing and you'll get stable service.

It's running totally cool with my fan now but it didn't fix the issue.

If I upgrade to the 360 Mb servics with the Compal modem might that fix my issue?
