Wi-Fi 7 has been around for a few years now, which means manufacturers have had enough time not only to expand their high-end portfolios but also to deliver compelling entry-level SKUs that appeal to bargain shoppers.

When selecting a new Wi-Fi router, you’ll first want to decide whether to go with Wi-Fi 7, Wi-Fi 6E, or Wi-Fi 6. Most folks should opt for Wi-Fi 7, but if you’re on a budget, Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 6 options are available at even lower price points. Other things to consider are dual-band versus tri-band for Wi-Fi 7 routers, the number and speed of LAN ports, and whether you want to opt for a mesh system if you have larger square footage to cover.

Specs to Look For

Mesh or no Mesh: Mesh routers let you place one or more "satellites" around your home to boost far-end connectivity. However, mesh networking devices are more expensive. If you don't have a large home or connectivity issues, stick with a single router.

Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi 7: Although Wi-Fi 6 routers can easily be found for under $70, your best bet is a dual-band Wi-Fi 7 router for a few bucks more if you want something more futureproof. For the ultimate performance, look no further than tri-band Wi-Fi 7 routers.

Ports: At a minimum, you'll want at least four GbE ports, plus a 2.5 GbE WAN port. With priceier tri-band and quad-band Wi-Fi 7 segments, you'll find more standard 2.5 GbE, 5 GbE, and 10 GbE ports.
