Without knowing what modem you have in mind, what the network load is, or what the ISP requires this may not be helpful, but I can offer an AVM Fritzbox 7560 for free.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

MODERATORS
That's a DSL modem, right? We have cable, so that wouldn't work unfortunately.
You are running a synapse server on a residential network? Wild.
It's dendrite, but yeah, I've been doing it for years
Would probably be best to move to a vps no?
Should definitely get a new modem though. Surprised they didn't supply you with one.
I don't run any of my services on a VPS for privacy reasons. They all run on my own hardware completely under my control and supervision. I also don't currently have the money to pay for the extremely powerful VPS(es) I'd need to run all my services. I have over 50 running.
bumpity bump to say that i am currently broke but I may have a few bucks to spare in a week or two.
i want to get better at using alt platforms like this, so i’ve been trying to spend more time here - and i signed up for matrix the other day but i don’t know how to use it. if someone could explain it to me like i’m 5 years old, that would be super cool lol
You can sign up on any matrix instance, the 'flagship' one is matrix.org but there's others. Save your recovery keys when creating your account, in your notes app or .txt file on your phone or desktop computer. Don't give them to anyone, and don't delete them either. Save in multiple places (drives and devices). It's just a text file, it doesn't take a lot of space, but if you lose them you won't be able to log back into your account.
Then you have to connect from a client. There's a ton of them because matrix is open source. There's clients on phones, web tabs, or desktop apps. Personally I use Cinny, it's similar(ish) to Discord and so you probably won't get too lost on it. Cinny to my knowledge only exists as a web app, app.cinny.in. Log in with your account and provide your decryption (recovery) keys when prompted or in the settings so that you can read encrypted messages. If you didn't save your recovery keys and your account is new you can always just recreate a new one.
Third step is to connect to the genzedong server. The address should be in this thread: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/1294067.
But to join a server on matrix, you don't provide a link but an address to a room (channel). To do that on Cinny, click the + button, 'add space' -> 'join with address'.
And then send the address for the rules channel and the other two channels as provided in the thread above (the ones in gray that start with a #). I won't paste them here just in case they change in the future, it's better to refer to the source material.
You also have to manually join the vetting channels and answer the questions and after that if you're approved by the admins, they'll invite you to a space [I think that's how they do it], which is kinda like a server on discord (more technically a space on matrix is a collection of channels).
From that space, you will then have to join the channels you want to see manually. On Cinny once you're in the space you need to click on the 'lobby' in the second sidebar to see all the channels.
i'd like to add that matrix.org is slow as shit and kind of overcrowded so other homeservers are better
