💨 Abstract

Old Wi-Fi routers can impede high-speed internet access and hinder the proper functioning of new devices, particularly in households with multiple high-bandwidth devices or frequent tech updates. Experts recommend replacing routers every two to five years, depending on usage. Signs of an outdated router include slow speed tests, frequent disconnections, and overheating. Placement of the router, such as near heat sources or obstructions, can also affect performance.
