Routers

We help navigate the complex world of Wi-Fi routers, look at what's available and which mix of technologies and features work best.

If your internet is giving you problems, but you're not sure what to do, let me help you figure out if you need a Wi-Fi network upgrade for your smart home.

Covering a home with good Wi-Fi signals isn’t as easy as it may seem, at least with one unit, which is what the Asus Lyra mesh network that aims to improve.

Slow Internet connections and unreliable Wi-Fi is exactly what TP-Link designed its Deco M5 system to fix. How well does it do it though?

Covering your home with a solid Wi-Fi connection is made a little easier with a mesh network. Google Wifi is the latest system meant to do just that.

Tired of a seemingly un-winnable battle for fast, reliable Wi-Fi throughout your entire home? the Google Wifi whole home Wi-Fi system is now at Best Buy, offering up to 4,500 square feet (1,371 square metres) of coverage.

In calling it “Velop,” Linksys has designed this mesh Wi-Fi networking system to envelop a home with better throughput to enable users to get more out of their Internet connection. With easier setup and management courtesy of a newer app, and blanketing performance, this is a router system that delivers as advertised.

While autonomous cars, smart appliances and super thin TVs made most of the headlines at CES 2017 last week in Las Vegas, an underlying trend was mesh networking in the home. Think of it as Wi-Fi with a wider net that doesn’t lose signal strength at each point in the chain: it’s better Wi-Fi for your home.

Linksys has entered the burgeoning networking sub-category of mesh Wi-Fi with the Velop, a router that will come as a single unit, or in a pack of two or three to cover your home with a solid connection.

This year’s edition of the Consumer Electronics Show is underway. One of the themes this year is better Wi-Fi. D-Link introduced two new whole home solutions that will interest anyone in search of an easy, reliable and fast wireless boost for their entire home.
