What's the point of having another router?
I once bought a router to use for my internet when I moved into my new house just to find out that it "wasn't compatible" with Verizon's service. I still have it (because I'm terrible about returning things). Is there any point in keeping it? Is there anything fun or interesting that I could do with it?

I hope it's not too terrible, purely over wifi. Maybe when my son gets older and wants to play games on his own computer, I'll pipe a line over to the other side of the house for him. I don't think his sister is going to care enough about computers to want a direct line to the internet, but if she does then I'll do it for her too.
It effectively cuts it by half.
That makes sense. I just hope that it's good enough for YouTube.
Youtube 4k is only 20mbps - any pair of routers with better than 802.11n will do just fine. n is technically 300mbps, but try to push that through a wall or three and it drops to nothing real quick.
That sounds promising. Thanks for the numbers. I'm planning to put the second router under their rooms, so I would think that one set of flooring shouldn't be too bad.
