A router is the center of your internet network that serves as the point of contact for all of your connected devices. If you use the internet frequently at home it's important to have a router that will be powerful enough to reliably support all of your devices. Many homes have seven or more connected devices including smartphones, gaming consoles, tablets, smart TVs, streaming media players and more. Many people probably don't think about how much work their network router does for them every single day by keeping all of their devices connected to the internet. If it's been a few years since you last bought a router or if you've been having a problem with your network like weak signal strength, it might be time to shop for a new router. After all, router technology has been constantly improving over the years to provide faster speeds. If you're a gamer who uses a system like an Xbox One console to play online games, you can connect your console to your router with an Ethernet cable for faster game streaming.
