I don't think so. But if your PC device drivers are outdated, your PC will probably run slower than it used to.

Meanwhile, to update the outdated drivers, you can use a driver detective software.

Not necessarily. If you are only trying to do what the drivers were meant to do, not really. If, however, you are using new features, there is a good chance that it will slow down your computer.

Chances are your computer's network card does not have up to date drivers or configuration. Check the manufacturer's website and verify that you have the most recent driver, otherwise the router could be at fault (it might not be assigning a new IP address when your computer identifies itself on the network). Check the drivers first, however.
