Should I buy or rent my router? | Crutchfield

There are many advantages to owning your router rather than renting one from your internet provider. With so many options to choose from, you can find a router that'll do the job stronger and faster than the rental option.

Odds are that when you sign up with your internet service provider, they'll offer you a router in exchange for a monthly fee. While that is a fine choice if you live in a small space or have simpler needs for your network, you can also buy your own equipment. By doing so, you can find a product that meets your particular needs and forgo the monthly fee.
