Internet access isn’t just a luxury these days, it’s an absolute necessity. And when issues stand in the way of your access to the internet, it can be positively infuriating. Many people think that when they have issues with their home internet network it’s always the fault of their Internet service provider. That can be true sometimes, but more often than not connectivity problems are actually caused by your Wi-Fi router. If you’ve been having issues lately that you can’t seem to resolve, it’s probably time to upgrade your home router and see just how much better things can be when you have faster and more reliable access to the web.
Best budget option
Getting your hands on a great Wi-Fi router doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg, and perhaps no model better illustrates that than the TP-Link AC1200 Smart WiFi Router. This dual-band router supports gigabit Wi-Fi speeds so you can stream 4K movies without having to worry about other people in your home hogging your bandwidth. It also supports all the modern security protocols you need so you can rest assured that your data is safe.

Best upgraded option
The TP-Link AC1200 Smart WiFi Router offers fantastic performance, but some people need even faster speeds for heavier-duty tasks like online gaming. What’s more, the TP-Link model has impressive range but it’s not quite strong enough for people who live in large houses with lots of square footage and big backyards to cover. If you’re looking for a more powerful upgrade, the Netgear R7000-100PAS Nighthawk AC1900 Dual Band WiFi Router is just what the doctor ordered. It supports speeds up to 1,300Mbps and high-powered amplifiers combine with advanced beamforming technology to dramatically improve range.

Best mesh wireless system
When even the best single-router solution doesn’t cut it, it’s time to step up to a mesh wireless system. These nifty solutions use multiple Wi-Fi access points to deliver the most consistent and reliable possible Wi-Fi connectivity to every inch of your home. There are plenty of great systems out there these days, but the best option for most people is the Google Wifi System. It delivers excellent coverage, blazing-fast data speeds, and user-friendly controls at a fraction of the cost of similar options from other companies.
