should i replace my router ?

i have been using a belkin F5D7230-4 for the last 7 years , wirless function turned off(and dont want wireless in the future), have 3 peeps cabled to it.
never had a prob with it, just wondering if because it quite old i would benefit from getting a modern one.

im on the 10mb service atm, possibly considering upgrading to 20mb.

any input appreciated

Re: should i replace my router ?

If it's still working why change?

Only reason to change would be that it can't push enough data through the network ports. Without checking the specs I assume the network card is 10/100 speed in whcih case it will still do the 20 meg speed easy. On the other hand if you want to shift files swiftly within your LAN and have a need for gigabit LAN speeds then by all means upgrade.

If you upgrade to 20Mb you will get the new Virginmedia Hub which is a combined Modem/Router click the link for more information.
