I've recently upgraded my internet to fiber at a new spot in my apartment. I decided to keep my old router to avoid changing passwords, but now I've received another router from my internet provider. Can I connect this new router at the old location to create two separate WiFi networks in my flat without incurring extra charges? Will this setup affect my internet speed or performance in any way? Cheers!

Make sure you know which connection you're using! If you're trying to plug the new router into something called Master Socket 5C, it may not work unless that's actually your ONT. If your PC isn't close to the new router, just keep your old setup running until you're sure everything is fine.
You can definitely daisy chain and connect multiple routers. Just be aware that the new router needs to be hooked up to your ONT (it's the device converting fiber signals) to function properly.
Absolutely, you can have two routers in your home! Just make sure to turn off the DHCP feature on one of them. This will help avoid connectivity issues and keep everything running smoothly.
