Nighthawk R7000 "End of service" - Do I need to buy a new router?
Believe it or not I've had it for nearly 11 years. Through the ups and downs of security flaws, but never had a real issue. Been solid and always handled my connection to internet without issue. ...
Yes and up to you. Can still use the router if it is working and not seeing any problems.
If you start seeing disconnects with devices, especially if you have a lot of devices or start adding more devices, or notice other issues, it may be time to replace.
In addition, the newer wi-fi protocols and security that the newer routers have, would be a good reason to update to a newer router as well.
