A new router can speed up your Wi-Fi. What a new router can't do is increase the speed of your internet plan. For example, if you have a 100 Mbps internet plan, even the fanciest router on the market can't make your internet speeds go over 100 Mbps.
Will updating my router increase my internet speed?
Whatever router you choose to buy won't affect the original speed of the internet coming into your home. These are two separate things, so don't expect much faster download and upload speeds. The true benefit of a new router comes with having better coverage.
