Will replacing my 5 year old internet router increase my internet connection?

Yes and no, it all depends on how fast your plan is, if your plan is faster than what your router can send over wifi, then yes. If not don't buy another one. Back to the first sentence tho, new wifi generations have come up in the past five years. Like g/n/b blah blah blah, which help out with things like wifi sharing , security, and streaming to your tv and stuff. these routers can support crazy fast speeds (if you feed them fast speed internet). Find out your speed first, it should be something like 10mbps-100mbps etc etc, tell a best buy guy. And he will find you a router that can take advantage of that speed
