WiFi routers and mesh networks
Boost your internet performance by choosing a new router using our comprehensive test results and buying guide.
On balance, this mesh system is the networking solution we'd recommend to the most people. It provides quick WiFi, especially through walls and around corners, and impressive Ethernet speeds too. It comes in a 2-pack, so you can set one up as a satellite to extend your coverage. And, best of all, it's fairly affordable. We think it's a great first mesh system for consumers looking to make the jump.
