Q1. Is the TP-Link TL-WR740N still worth using or should I upgrade?
Ans: The TP-Link TL-WR740N is a single-band 2.4GHz N150 router which means it only supports WiFi speeds up to 150 Mbps. For basic web browsing and email on a few devices it still works fine. However, if you have an internet plan faster than 50 Mbps, stream video, have multiple devices, or need 5GHz WiFi, this router will be a bottleneck. Modern WiFi 6 routers handle 30 or more devices simultaneously and deliver speeds of 1 Gbps or more. If your ISP plan is 100 Mbps or higher, upgrading to at least a WiFi 5 (AC1200) or WiFi 6 router will give you a significantly better experience for streaming, gaming, and working from home.
