The Best Wireless Routers of 2016-17



Price

Like anything else, router pricing is based on performance and features. A basic, single-band 802.11n router can run anywhere from $25 to $100, give or take a few bucks. You can snag a dual-band AC1200 model for as little as $130, but you will have to pay upwards of $250 for a dual-band AC2400 router with MIMO streaming capabilities. An AC3200 tri-band model with all the bells and whistles will run you somewhere around $300. Early AC2600 MU-MIMO routers are hitting the market at around $300, but these prices will surely drop as more router manufacturers get in on the action.
Fast throughput speeds, good range, easy set up and manageability, a solid feature set, and, of course, fair pricing are what make a top router. The 10 models that follow span the price range and strike the best balance among all our criteria right now. We're continually testing routers and we update this list every month.
