Modem and/or Router
My current iMac is at the end of its life. I can't update the browser any further. When I buy a new iMac do I have to buy a new modem and/or router?

Hi Ruppy59,
If you get a new router, you will get improved WiFi speeds, improved WiFi coverage, better WiFi Security, just to name a few.
For good choices, visit this page: Mesh Wi-Fi Networking - All Accessories - Apple. These are the 3rd party units Apple sells, and therefore has trust in.
You can buy them with a specific number of "nodes" to put around your house for WiFi.
Cheers,
Jack

No not unless you want to. If you have not updated your router in the past 3-4 years then it would be wise though. Depending on your home and the number of Internet devices your network supports you may be a candidate for a Mesh Network. If you are unfamiliar with Mesh networking I'd read up on it, you may be an ideal candidate and just don't know it.
What I ended up with was the https://www.bestbuy.com/site/google-wifi-mesh-router-ac1200-3-pack-white/6427176.p?skuId=6427176&ref=212&loc=1&ref=212&loc=1&extStoreId=845&ref=212&loc=1&ds_rl=1268652&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI48WX9eqQ7wIVXjytBh3QQQLoEAYYAiABEgJVMvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
Simple to setup and dead reliable.
My Router is more than 4 years old. Can you tell me what the advantages are to updating my Router? Any recommendations on a new Router? Thanks again!
