Have You Outgrown Your Router?
By Chad A. Johnson · May 25, 2008 · 10 Comments
Let me guess, the oldest piece of technology in your home office is the router. Am I right?
This holds true for most real estate agents. There just doesn’t appear to be a compelling reason to invest in newer technology. That is what I thought until I did a little research. Since then, I have retired my trusty 802.11g router for a new, cutting-edge model.
Originally, you probably bought your router so that multiple computers could share a broadband connection. Plus, the added benefit of a wireless signal gave you the freedom to use your laptop from the couch. For these simple needs, that old router is fine. I’m here to tell you that your needs have grown beyond those simple tasks.
Ask yourself these questions to identify how your home network needs have changed:
- Do you work primarily from home?
- Has your broadband connection speed increased (10 Mbps compared to 1.5 Mbps)?

- Are you a YouTube junkie?
- Have you filled up your iPod by downloading music from iTunes?
- Have you conducted an online meeting (GoToMeeting)?
- Are you or your child known as a master of Worlds of Warcraft?
- Have you remotely accessed your home computer (GoToMyPC)?
