⚠️ Warning: Buying a new router may still need an updated firmware. Why? Most units sit shipping or inventory for months or more and has new firmware for security and other issues since. Go to makers site and DL new ZIP or BIN file then follow directions. (ZIP often contain a BIN file and directions etc.) Use files only files match exact version of the router as labeled on bottom or back. (Some sites tell you where to look for version as well.)
Some may update themselves either automatically or manual in the router. Manual updates are ok but Don't like auto updates even before Win10 Force Updates.
Again turnoff "remote admin." Many are off by default now. Turn off "1 button" and/or PIN access to WiFi too. Most are On by default but do little for most people and have security issues.

What speeds are you paying for? 125Mb is considered pretty dang slow in our current times. Barely faster than a lot 9)of 4G. That 6121 router is older than heck. If you're paying for more than 200Mb toss it and upgrade. I just looked I bother the 6141 in 2016 for 45$... and it was nothing special even then.
Glad you're happy with the router.
