Some of the internet connection problems we face these days tend to come from our ISP, but others come from our router. This is a more common problem than it seems and will generally be the only really effective solution replace the router with a new one with a higher level of performance.

It is important to note that the router may not be defective to experience problems with the Internet connection. In many cases, the routers that the operators give us are mostly cheap low-end models, or low-medium range, which means that its benefit level is usually quite limitedand this can have a negative impact on the user experience, especially when we have contracted high-speed broadband services.

This is exactly one of the most common cases that we usually see from users who complain about problems with their Internet connection, that they have contracted a very good rate with a high level of performance, but the router they use no matter the circumstances and ultimately it burdens the user experience.

Three internet connection problems that indicate you should change your router

1. Low speed, especially appreciated when connected via Wi-Fi. It is one of the clearest indicators and it is also one of the ones that we have to take into account the most, because it will prevent us from enjoying the connection that we pay for every month. For example, imagine that you have a speed of 900 symmetrical Mbps, and if you connect via Wi-Fi at an average distance from the router, without many obstacles, you will get an average speed of only 30 Mbps. you have a big problem with your router, its performance level in both range and speed is insufficient and it prevents you from really using your internet connection.
2. Frequent disconnections and dropouts that are reduced by having only one or two devices connected. This is another very common problem that points directly to the router and indicates that it is not able to perform well in environments where more than two Wi-Fi connected devices are used at the same time. The most modern routers are ready to work optimally with many devices connected simultaneously and wirelessly, and those that are compatible with Wi-Fi 6 do it more securely and efficiently.
3. Problems with dead zones and range even in close proximity. This is another common problem that routers from many operators present, and the best solution in these cases is not to use Wi-Fi repeaters, but to change the router directly. The reason is very simple, when we have problems reaching close areas, it is because the signal from the router is very bad, and this can even end up hampering the performance of the Wi-Fi repeater, because if the source signal is bad, the repeated signal will not be, it could to be good.
