Putting your router in a utility closet is probably not the best choice, if your utility closet is in your basement and you spend all day upstairs. You may want to reconsider a more central location for your router.

Router Issues

If you continue to have issues with your current router, it may be time to upgrade. If after talking with our support department and we have walked you through factory resetting your router and updating the firmware with no change to performance, then it may be time to get a new router.
