Wireless Router

What router do you currently have?

Hi,

Who is your internet provider? Are you using their router?

What is your price range? Also, how large is your place? What is your current router? Why are you thinking of upgrading?

In terms of streaming YouTube, this is somewhat "equivalent" to streaming Netflix since both don't need fast/rapid upload speeds and both are streaming audio & video at a somewhat regular rate.

You’re single and live alone. If there is a security breach, it will be caused by the only user in the house.

If you don’t do anything on your network, the chance of you getting hacked is slim to none. Do you have any ports open? Do you have multiple machines? Is anything in the DMZ?

Unless you click on something and let someone into your machine, you have nothing to worry about. Even with a router with advanced features, you can still inadvertently let someone into your network.
