1. Age is not the boss\u2014stability is \u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a03\u20135 years is the average life, not a deadline. If your 2017 box still covers every room and hits 90 % of your plan speed, keep it. Just reboot it once a week and blow the dust out of the vents. When it starts dropping you daily, read on.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Hard failures = instant pension \u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2013 Flashing red every other day. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2013 Burning-hot case even at idle. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2013 Needs power-cycling to bring Wi-Fi back. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0One-off glitch? Update firmware and relocate it. Two weeks of the same dance? Time to shop.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Head-count has outgrown the chipset \u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Log in to the admin panel and look at the client list. If eight phones, two TVs, a thermostat and a doorbell are already connected, a 2016 entry-level SoC is sweating. Modern Wi-Fi 6\/7 chips double the number of simultaneous sessions and queue them intelligently. No more \u201cconnected, no internet\u201d badges.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Broadband tier moved, router did not \u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2013 100 Mbps fibre + Wi-Fi 5 = fine. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2013 300 Mbps or more + Wi-Fi 5 = you leave 30-40 % of the pipe in the box. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2013 1 Gbps + Wi-Fi 5 = you are literally paying for packets you will never see. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Upgrade at least to Wi-Fi 6 (AX) or Wi-Fi 7 (BE) with a gig-or-better WAN port so the speed you buy is the speed you feel.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. New toys need new tricks \u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0160 MHz channels, 4K-QAM, WPA3, OFDMA, MLO\u2014none of those exist on pre-2019 hardware. If you just bought a Wi-Fi 6E laptop or a 2.5 Gb NAS, the old router becomes the obvious bottleneck.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If two or more of the boxes above are ticked, retire the veteran. Something like COMFAST CF-WR632AX (AX3000, 2.5 G WAN, USB 3.0 file sharing, pocket-size) will handle today\u2019s gigabit tiers and still look sane in 2028.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
