Routers are an essential part of almost every home, but many don't realize that they are good to replace every 4 to 5 years for a variety of factors. Our video guide covers the reasons to replace your router, as well as the most popular types of routers.

One of the biggest reasons to replace your router is if you're not getting the internet speeds you're paying for. If rebooting your router doesn't help the issue, it's time to replace it. Replacing your router also broadcasts higher speeds to more users and improves security in your home.

Types of routers include modem/router combination, standalone routers and mesh network systems. Each type has their own pros and cons and are better suited for different purposes like video streaming or playing video games.
