Choose a home router

Select coverage and features for the home, not just a speed number.

1. Check the internet plan speed, home size, wall construction and number of connected devices.
2. Choose enough wired ports and confirm support for the Wi-Fi generation used by important devices.
3. For a large or multi-floor home, compare a mesh system with one centrally placed high-quality router.
4. Prioritize ongoing security updates, guest networking and clear management controls.

Follow the official instructions for your device or service. Back up important data before changing settings or attempting repairs.
