Stop trusting your ISP’s router blindly – this is what you should do instead

I remember that a long time ago (and this is dating me) cable internet providers didn’t even provide the option of a Wi-Fi router with your hookup. This was when Wi-Fi was just a few years old, and it wasn’t yet a basic connection option for computers, much less your phone or gaming handheld. It was pretty much assumed that anything you were taking online could connect via Ethernet. If it couldn’t, you were on the bleeding edge.
