When do routers get replaced with more modern ones

I have an older xb7 router which is probably 8 years old.  I am having issues with poor signal and I’m wondering when these things get replaced with newer technology

If there is a signal / line / connection quality impairment somewhere, a new modem won't fix it. What do the modem's signal status values look like ? Try getting them here:  http://10.0.0.1 


Please copy all of the text in its entirety of the *Downstream Power Levels*, the *SNR's* (Signal to Noise Ratios), and the *Upstream Power Level* numbers and paste them into your next post.

Is this with a WiFi connection ?
