Top Three Routers For Speedy Streaming

Don't let slow routers drag your streaming movies and TV shows down. If you cut the cord and replaced your expensive cable TV provider with Hulu, Netflix or PS Vue. It may be a good time to upgrade your slow tired router with something much faster.

Because a slow or weak WiFi signal can make your streaming TV unbearable. A sure sign your old router is struggling is slow video stream loading. And also frequent pauses and starts when watching a video. Otherwise, known as the dreaded buffering.

The good news is today's routers are faster than ever and a fast router will kick a slow streaming and buffering WiFi connection right in the butt.
