Will the deleting of 3G networks in December of this year affect our computer routers and modems?

2G is already gone as of earlier this month (June). 3G is scheduled to be shut down at the end of the year. I'm worried this will stop either the router or modem on my computer to stop working.

    Wi-Fi and mobile Internet (2G,3G,4G, LTE,5G, etc) have really nothing to do with each other other than the fact that they're forms of wireless communications.

    The only way you might be affected would be if you have a mobile Internet device (like a MiFi) that only supports 3G. If not, then you have nothing to worry about. Not many computers connect to a mobile network directly, and the ones that do almost always use 4G/LTE.

    So in short, unless you connect to the Internet via a 3G mobile Internet connection, you don't have anything to worry about.

    The thing is, one has to replace the device after 3 - 4 years, The latest device in market will support the spectrum that is provided by the company. 

    Here, we still use cable for fast internet.

    Its best to replace the device after few years, so you could remain updated with the technology.

    Only if your Wifi router doesn't support anything higher. In which case, it's time to ugrade.
