What's the point of having another router? (lemmy.austinwadeheller.com)

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?

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.
