Times are tough for many people right now. The economy and job market aren’t great due to the pandemic, leaving stressed out people in a lurch with empty wallets.

If internet connections are decent, most people don’t give their Wi-Fi routers a second thought. There’s no reason to worry about a working router, right?
Wrong. An old router can slow down your internet speeds or have trouble handling multiple devices.

When you think the features on your gadgets couldn’t get any better, they do. Technology is always advancing, whether it’s an upgraded screen on a new smartphone or a massive update to an app.
When the advances work, they’re great. When they fail, it can be incredibly frustrating to deal with. Even the most user-friendly devices can have glitches that come up from time to time. We saw it recently with the iOS 14 update, which caused iPhone battery issues for some users.
