Does a router affect internet speeds?

Hello Friends,

I have noticed extra buffering when streaming a video or audio.
Can router cause slowness in internet speed?


Can you Guys clear my doubts?

If your Internet speed tests low, hook up a computer directly to your Internet modem, bypassing the router. Run a quick HTML5 speed test to verify your Internet connection tests as fast as it should.
