Here's Why You Need A Wi-Fi 6 Router, And The Best Ones To Buy
As consumers use more bandwidth in the games we play, apps we use, and videos we watch, faster internet has never been more important.
Thankfully, the next generation of Wi-Fi, dubbed Wi-Fi 6, is here to meet the demand. Less of a one-time speed increase and more of a future-facing upgrade that’s been specifically designed to make sure our internet speeds stay stable, Wi-Fi 6 is all about improving the network.
And it came at just the right time, with the average U.S. household having around 5 devices connected to the Wi-Fi. Such number of devices can take a toll on your network, and Wi-Fi 6 introduces new technologies to help resolve this issue, leading to faster and more stable connections.
So if you’re ready for the next generation of internet speeds and stability, here are the 7 best Wi-Fi 6 routers that are now available on Amazon:
First on the list is the Netgear Nighthawk AX8, which provides you with both top performance and excellent security. Combining stable thoroughput and the Disney Circle App that helps block inappropriate content, this powerhouse of a router is your best option if you don’t want to compromise on speed and safety.
Coming in at second place is the TP-Link Archer AX6000, which has 8 LAN ports, extra security, USB 3.0 Type A and Type C connectors, and a price that’s generally on the inexpensive side of modern routers. Add a 1.8Ghz quad-core processor, and it’s an all-around router for optimal connectivity and better speeds.
Next up is the sleek-looking Netgear Orbi RBK852. Sure it’s a bit pricey, but considering that you get tri-band coverage that can handle 5,000 square feet, the Orbi voice that has a built-in smart speaker, and probably the best mesh system yet from Orbi, it’s a good deal.
Want something more affordable? Then go for the TP-Link WiFi 6 AX3000 Smart WiFi Router. Covering up to 2,000 square feet and can handle many devices at the same time, this router is well suited for gaming, streaming and video chat. Definitely a real bang for your buck right here.
Next up on the list is the Asus RT-AX86U, which is easily one of the best dual-band Wi-Fi routers to date. Featuring faster Wi-Fi speeds, excellent coverage, multi-gig wired connection support, security features, and a robust Web UI, this all-rounder deserves a spot in your home, both for casual and heavy internet usage.
Essentially the best-selling cheap Wi-Fi 6 router at the moment, the NETGEAR 4-Stream Wifi 6 Router is non-obtrusive and small, and features moderate performance. It can also handle more than 20 devices with ease, and is a good upgrade for those looking to save.
Sold in a pack of two with one router and one satellite extension, the Netgear Nighthawk mesh Wi-Fi 6 system delivers stellar performance, and can provide up to 3,000 square feet of connections with its dual-band capability and combined speeds of up to 1.8 gigabits per second. It’s also quite inexpensive, and is a decent mesh system that will cover all of your home’s internet needs.
