If everythings working to your satisfaction and your not looking to upgrade speed, then I'd leave it.
If you're needing more speed or a dual band router, then I'd look at updating.
Does it work and provide the speeds you pay for?
If it doesn't then look at compatible models for your isp and speed requirements.
Some isp's even provide a free modem/router combo device. If they charge for one, its worth buying one. But if its free and you just need a basic device, that might be a decent option.
What speeds are you paying for?
What size home are you trying to cover?
do you streaming video?
I'm on an old Time Warner (Spectrum) plan with a speed of 50 mb, my router covers my small home via ethernet cable, and my streaming is via ROKU/wifi.
