[QUOTE="hark, post: 472547, member: 13196"] I need to get a new router as mine is 8 years old and is having multiple connectivity problems every day. My internet provider does offer them to lease, but I'd rather purchase mine as it is far cheaper in the long run. The problem is I don't know what specs to keep in mind. I use my router mainly for connecting to the internet wirelessly as well as using it for an Ooma telephone hub (all calls go through it). I also have a roku box for TV although I rarely use it. My printer is also wireless and gets its signal from it. No gaming. Once in a while I move my laptop around the house, but usually I am located in the same room as the router. Eventually I may set up a security system that goes through it, too. Any suggestions on specs that I should keep in mind? I'd rather keep the cost under $150 US dollars if possible. Thanks for any information! :) [/QUOTE]
