Which router do I need?
A router picker is a tool that matches a home's size, speed plan and device count to a router.
Answer three questions to settle “which WiFi router do I need?” for your home. You get the three cheapest routers that fit, each with a buy link.
Your three picks
Answer all three questions to see your picks.
Home size
Over 3,000 sq ft or more than one floor gets a mesh system. A mid-size home needs a router rated for at least 2,000 sq ft.
Plan speed
A plan over 1,000 Mbps needs a WAN port faster than 1 Gbps. The picker prefers WiFi 7 or 6E for these plans.
Devices
Over 30 devices prefers a 3-band router. If fewer than three routers fit, the picker drops the band rule first, then the WiFi rule, and tells you.
