Is My Router Too Old & Slowing Me Down?
We have a Netgear Nighthawk AC1750 Smart WiFi Route Model R6700v2 which I bought in January, 2018, and I'm just checking to see if it's now too old and out of date and thus possibly slowing things do...
Do you have problems with it, like slow throughput or similar? If not, then there's little reason to upgrade. Your router model can handle up to a Gbps connection just fine.
We are having to increasingly wait for websites, etc., to appear onscreen and while I know there could be many reasons for that, and my inclination is to think it's more likely our internet cable provider and/or the modem they gave us, but I figured I'd try to cover all bases as I'm definitely no expert! So could it be our router?!?

How fast is the Internet service you pay for?
