Hi OP

Your router looks very low end:

Are you paying a monthly fee for that router?

>1350 sq ft ranch

Walls are standard drywall, no concrete/brick/metal?

>Is the standard equipment just shitty,

I think so, that router looks weak tbh

>should I get a modem and router or just a router?

I think spectrum provides modem for free? If that is the case, recommend you keep it, it's not the weak link.

Router:

Or because wife and budget:

Or archer a7/c7 from amazon.

>While I want to do this it is a tough sell to my wife, since our entire purpose of switching providers and getting rid of cable was to save money.

If you are paying to rent a router every month, buying one will save money in the long run.

Oh: if you can run an ethernet cable to the PS4, that would be best.

>Switch back to ATT and pay the same amount of money for an inferior internet speed

Again, I think the weak link is the router. ATT combo modem/router isn't bad, but isn't great, and is apparently better than the sagemcom

Also:

maybe post this in r/homenetworking? I think it's a router issue, not just spectrum's service.
