Ask HN: Is a new router worth it?
3 by gwbas1c | 3 comments on Hacker News.
I have an Apple Airport Express router that I bought in 2015. It works great, but no longer receives security updates. I'm mostly afraid that some unpatched bug will leave my home network vulnerable; or that I'll wake up one day and find that my router turned into a paperweight because of an unpatched vulnerability. Better reception would be nice, but, except for one problem spot, I have great reception throughout my home. Thoughts? Should I replace my router just because it's old and unsupported?
