If it does what you want, why spend more money?
If you do move it, it is a good idea to do a "factory reset". The new network won't be the same. For example, it will have different login details for the Internet and probably a different modem in front. You don't want the router to remember its old settings.
How do I perform a factory reset on my NETGEAR router? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
While you are at it, it might be a good idea to update the firmware, if only to get any security updates since you bought it.
