The router is in many cases one of the great technologies that users have forgotten about. Many households, as well as many professionals, maintain the model their Internet provider gave them for years, not realizing that eventually there will be a point where it becomes outdated and needs to be renewed.

If you change your smartphone every three or four years, also update your computer with some regularity and keep your devices and consoles up to date, Why don’t you do the same with the router? I know what you’re thinking, that it’s not that important and that a five year old router can still offer good performance.

In some cases this is true, but it is also true that restoring the router will offer us a number of important advantages which improve our user experienceand that ultimately makes it a highly recommended investment. Many users are not really aware of these benefits, so today I want to share with you three reasons that alone are worth replacing your router with a new model.

1.-New standards and higher performance

For example, if we have a router from five years ago and replace it with a new one, we will be able to access new standards that are more secure and efficient and offer higher performance. For example, with a router such as the AVM FRITZ! 7530 AX I will be able to enjoy all the advantages offered by the Wi-Fi 6 standard, which affect both performance and latency, security and autonomy of the wireless devices we have connected.

This standard also greatly increases the maximum performance on wireless connections and can make a huge difference. With AVM FRITZ! 7530 AX we can achieve speed up to 1,800 Mbps under Wi-Fi 6 in the 5 GHz band and 600 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band.

2.-Enhancement of signal and multi-device environment

The new generation router uses a more advanced Wi-Fi standard and has new technologies that improve the connectivity of various devices and signal range. Continuing with the previous example, AVM FRITZ! The 7530 AX features OFDMA and MU-MIMO technologies that make a big difference.

OFDMA is enabled by the router Send a signal to multiple devices through a single channel. This avoids having to deliver the signal to these devices one by one and keep the rest waiting. On the other hand, we have the MU-MIMO technology, which is not new, but in this case it has received important improvements that will allow us connect up to 8 devices simultaneouslywhereas before we could only have four.

In most families, only household members have smartphones Now it’s easy to have four devices connected to Wi-Fiso you can get an idea of ​​how important the issue of multi-device connectivity is.

3.-Improved security and value features

Switch to a router like the AVM FRITZ! The 7530 AX will also give us access to important security improvements, among which we can highlight WPA3 encryption and VPN. But that’s not all, because we will also have all the control and parental protection features of FRITZ!OS and free MyFRITZ! app.

Another of the new valuable features that will significantly change our user experience when restoring the router is BSS color, which was designed to deal with the increasing saturation of wireless networks and thanks to which the router knows how to distinguish signals from the surrounding environment and ignore those that do not match it.
