A router upgrade means the old router gets tossed in a drawer or thrown away. But I try to repurpose it. A couple of months ago, I turned my old ASUS RT-AC66U router into an access point. Later, I repositioned my main router, and then coverage stopped being an issue. Obviously, that meant sending the older router back into the drawer.
