Honestly in my experience the range and throughput on those Saw WiFi modems is pretty low end compared to many after market routers.
My folks couldn't even have a Facetime chat sitting 10 feet from the Shaw WiFi. I gave them my old E4200 router and it is a massive improvement in range and speed.
Honestly, I would get one on sale, that you can return if needed. I would test it out. I am willing to bet even a $50 router will be night and day.
I'm sure some of us can give suggestions as to some good ones.
