Do I need my own router?

We have the Akkris router by Time Warner. Is there a diff u recommend. This one has given us a lot of trouble for quite a while:(

While the TW modem/router is required to get internet access to your home, it is not required for your wifi. You can use your own wifi router to provide wifi in your home. Unfortunately TW now charges a rental fee for their wifi modem/router but they don’t provide modems only which is really all we need. So most clients I work with keep the modem/router supplied by their ISP but use their own routers they purchase separetly. I like the airport extremes by apple. They cost a little more but I think they are worth it. www.apple.com/wifi
Notes: I do not like the time capsule routers. Reasons for that can be found here.
