BUYING GUIDES
1. Wi-Fi Standard: Wi-Fi routers come with different standards denoted by a combination of numbers and letters (802.11 followed by a/b/g/n/ac/ax). 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) is commonly used, but 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) routers are becoming more widespread, offering improved speed and better performance in crowded networks.
2. Speed: While the speed of the router doesn’t actually increase your internet bandwidth (that’s determined by your Internet Service Provider), a faster router can offer better performance and handle more devices at once. The speed is typically listed as a theoretical maximum in Mbps or Gbps (like AC1200, AC1900, etc.). Remember, these are ideal figures and actual speed may vary.
3. Range: Depending on the size and layout of your home, you’ll want to consider a router with enough range. Consider a router with strong range or a mesh network system for larger homes. The range can be influenced by the number of antennas and the power of the router.
4. Frequency Bands: Dual-band routers offer two bands – 2.4GHz (better range, slower speed, more device compatibility) and 5GHz (faster speed, less range, less device interference). Tri-band routers add an extra 5GHz band to better handle multiple devices.
5. Ports: Consider the number and type of ports. Ethernet ports let you hardwire devices for a more stable connection. USB ports let you add on devices like printers or external hard drives.
6. Security: Look for routers with robust security features. WPA3 is the latest security protocol. Some routers also come with a built-in firewall and VPN support. Parental controls can also be a valuable feature if you have children.
7. MU-MIMO: Multiple User-Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) allows a Wi-Fi router to communicate with multiple devices simultaneously. This can significantly increase the speed of your network if you have many devices connected at once.
8. Mesh Compatibility: If you live in a large house or an apartment with thick walls, you might want to consider a mesh network. This uses multiple routers to create a network that covers your entire home. Some standalone routers are compatible with certain mesh systems.
9. Price: Router prices can vary greatly, from around $50 to several hundreds of dollars. More expensive routers generally offer more features and better performance, but a mid-range model is often enough for a typical home network.
10. Brand and Reviews: Consider the reputation of the brand and read customer reviews to ensure the router’s reliability and performance. Renowned router brands include Netgear, Asus, TP-Link, Google, and Linksys.
By considering these factors and understanding your specific internet needs, you can find the perfect Wi-Fi router for your home. Happy shopping!
