Router question.
Not sure if I will ever be able to find my way back to this page and answer to my question. But what the heck. I am a 70 year veteran who does not have much tech knowledge. Having issue with my router which is probably about 10 years old. What is best router to get at a reasonable price? The reason for my question is I have spectrum internet and can not get service. Was asked by rep form spectrum if I had issue with my router. Based on age of my router it could be time to get a new one. So, what do i need to look for in a new router?
Thanks for any help. And I hope everyone had a safe and great 4th of July. Stay safe all of you. -

Here are some affordable routers that are easy to set up:
