The best Wi-Fi routers give you wireless connectivity, whether it's for gaming, streaming Netflix or productive uses for work and school. Whether it's Wi-Fi 6 or a mesh Wi-Fi system, a good router gives you great speed, coverage that fills your home and features that make managing your home network easy. We've spent more than 60 hours testing dozens of routers to help you skip the confusion and find the right Wi-Fi solution for your home.

Many internet users will settle for the combined modem and router gateways offered by internet service providers, never realizing that they could lower their monthly bill and get better Wi-Fi throughout their home by purchasing a router of their own. Instead, they shell out an extra $10 per month (or more) for whatever Wi-Fi solution was offered when they installed their service, often leaving them behind the curve of current technologies, like Wi-Fi 6 and mesh networking, and limiting the capabilities of their entire home network.
