Do I need a new router?

[ElPedro]

I am about to move into a Tiny flat with a PS4, iPhone 6s, Macbook and a gaming PC. I want the router to be very fast and work on 5g with strong signal. Is it worth me sticking with the standard router (5g new generation BT homehub) or going with a 3rd party hub from someone like asus?
Or googles new OnHub.
Thanks

The most general advice: As you wrote that you are moving into a small flat, it will be better to stay with the standard router assuming it provides you with the expected download/upload speeds.

Ok great, so the main benefit of bigger/better routers is the range of the signal? And a small flat does not benefit from this range?

I think my new router will have 5g in the whole flat so it should be ok. Thanks

As long as the provided router does enough for you, then there shouldn't be a real reason to switch. Most higher end routers these days offer things such as larger ranges and more bandwidth, but as long as you're getting everything out of the provided router, stick with it.
