I'm kinda disappointed that no one has asked what you hope to get out of 
your upgrade?

# Faster Wifi?

We are on 802.11ac Wave 2 new, two generation beyond N, and with AD 
coming in a year or so. Do you have devices that would take advantage of 
that?

# Better Networking?

What are your current Internet Speeds, are you expecting to upgrade them 
to 100Mbps, or lucky enough to get 1Gbps?


# IPv6 Support?

Do you have a provider offering this? (Yes, if on Teksavvy DSL)


# Budget?

$50, $150, $500, I've got recommendation in each category.


People are throwing out suggestion without understanding your needs.
Please tells us more about why your upgrading, beside just 'it's old'.
If the current hardware is mostly meeting your needs, what are your 
concerns or pain points?
