Product Information

Most routers look dull in the extreme, but the Asus RT-AC86U angled surfaces and red slashes give it just a little more visual appeal. The case has some issues on the ergonomics front - it has to stand up, there’s no wall mounting option - but unusual pluses include buttons to handle tasks buried in the firmware (disable the radios, turn off the lights.) It’s a similar story with the VPN features. Sure, you can set it up to connect to most of the big providers, but that’s just the start. There’s also a VPN server which gives you remote access to your network, and the SMB-friendly ability to remotely operate PCs and servers. The Linksys WRT32X is an impressive gaming-focused router with a smart prioritization engine which automatically optimizes your gaming traffic, cutting latency and boosting performance. That’s especially true when it comes to VPNs. There’s built-in support for connecting the Asus RT-AX58U to a VPN provider; a built-in VPN server enables securely connecting to your home network while you’re on the move; and the comprehensive dashboard gives you many ways to customize the router to suit your exact needs. Lastly, while most devices are wireless or support a wireless connection, you’ll want to use ports for some of them. Maybe someone in your household is a gamer and needs the fastest speeds possible. Being able to connect that PC or console directly via an ethernet port is going to be much more vital than for general internet use. And, if you have an older PC or printer, you’ll probably need to physically connect that to the router as well. How we test Wi-Fi routers

Large Wooden Keepsake Box with Lid - Wood Storage Box for home keepsakes - White Oak Stash Box with Cedar wood Inlay - Blonde Catchall Box If you've got a massive home to cover, for example, it's worth looking into a mesh router option like the Asus ZenWiFi AX (XT8), if you want Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, or the crowd-favorite, Google Nest Wifi. If there's a massive gamer in the house or there are a ton of devices, you'll want to consider something with MU-MIMO (multi-user, multiple-input, multiple-output) technology as it makes the router more efficient at handling a crowded network. What does a good Wi-Fi router cost? Browse through the comprehensive dashboard and you’ll find an array of other options, including the ability to run the router as a VPN client or server. Need more power? No problem, you can install third-party firmware for even great control.

The Rapture GT-AX11000 Pro is not only one of the fastest Wi-Fi 6 routers we’ve tested, but it is incredibly well appointed. This router is physically huge, but for good reason: It’s equipped with a boatload of connectivity options, including 10Gbps and 2.5Gbps network ports. The router also supports link aggregation, offering the potential for truly massive bandwidth and future-proofing. It also offers a gamer-friendly user interface and lots of settings designed to optimize your gaming experience. Who It’s For The Netgear Nighthawk RAXE300 might be the mid-range offfering in Netgear's RAXE line, but this Wi-Fi router is still among the priciest we've tested. That isn't surprising, however; this is among the most future-proof routers we've seen this year. That's both in performance and design.

As part of our comprehensive review process, we’ve compared design, connectivity, speed, coverage, and extra features like parental controls. We also placed functionality, firmware, and support from VPN providers under the microscope to help you find the right router for your set-up.

Mesh routers use multiple devices to relay a better Wi-Fi signal throughout your home, with fewer dead zones. It's definitely the right approach if you live in a large, multi-story home or if there are multiple spots in your home where you can't connect as reliably as you'd like.

The aesthetic might not be to every gamer's liking, but the performance certainly is. This level of enterprise power normally comes with a degree of complexity, but the TP-Link Archer C5400 v2 does a lot to keep its functions accessible to regular consumers. An app and some very clear setup instructions walk you through the first steps, and TP-Link’s Router Skill even allows you to carry out common tasks via simple Alexa commands.VPN routers are a more convenient solution to automatically shield a lot of devices connected to the same network. These routers have built-in VPN software or can be manually configured to your chosen service, offering the same protections as a standalone desktop or mobile VPN apps. There are welcome bonus features, too. Aircove’s groups enable connecting up to five locations simultaneously, for instance, so some devices can use your fastest local server, while your TV connects to your favorite streaming location, and a laptop uses the best server for your work.

When evaluating the best secure routers, we looked at various features, like their speeds, communication bands, coverage area, companion apps, and router type. Although Aircove excels on the VPN front, there’s plenty to like about it as a router, too. Wi-Fi 6 support gives you potential speeds of up to 1,200Mbps, a 1.2 GHz 64-bit Quad-Core CPU has the power to handle dozens of simultaneous connections, there are four gigabit Ethernet ports for nearby devices, and a decent 1,600 square feet coverage to help you reach everything else. The hardware is a little more ordinary: dual-band, a dual-core CPU, four gigabit ports, one USB 3.0 port, and one mildly surprising extra in an eSATA USB 2.0 port (handy for a network-attached storage device.) First thing’s first: the Asus Rapture GT-AXE11000 is Asus’ highest-end router in its Republic Of Gamers (RoG) line. So if you’re looking for something affordable, you should probably look elsewhere – the Asus TUF Gaming AX5400, which is on this list, might be a better option for you. However, if you do have a newer router that just doesn’t have the reach you need, you can save a little and invest in a wireless extender instead of getting a more expensive mesh Wi-Fi router.
