A new router, like the many available by Asus, can be a game changer for your home. Why put up with the inconsistent, often too slow, router supplied by your internet service provider? Do you really think they are going to include great router technology, comparable to that designed by Asus, with the modem they brought into your home? Fortunately, you can easily add an external router for incredible improvements to your home Wi-Fi. It’s a low cost solution to connection issues. Even better, enter this contest and you might win a router from Asus and Best Buy.

Is the router from your ISP good enough?

You internet service provider does a lot of great things. Most importantly, it delivers internet to your home, which is no small feat considering they are likely sending many billions of bytes to and from hundreds of thousands of other home at the same time. The modem they provided to you brings in the signal from the world and sends your messages and requests out with speed and accuracy.

Often, though, an ISP will also provide a hybrid modem/router so you have a Wi-Fi signal in your home too. Unfortunately, that router may not serve the needs of a modern home. Why not? Most homes these days have a huge range of devices pull and pushing information to and from the internet. Some routers will manage all of that traffic better than others. Look at Best Buy’s router page online and you’ll see that there are many different kinds of routers, and a huge range of prices too. The higher prices of the newest and fastest modems are justified: you will have a better online experience in your home!

If you think the internet in your home is passable, should you get a new router? You could wait until you consistently get annoyed with slow downloads or frequent buffering while watching Netflix or playing an online game. However, if you will soon add more internet dependant devices to your home (like a new TV, new cell phone, a smart camera, or doorbell, or smart lights, etc) then you might want to consider upgrading your router to one that can handle the increase in traffic.

How to easily add another router to your home

ASUS RT-AC67P review headerAnyone can add a better router to their home. First you go online and order one from Best Buy and it will be delivered promptly.  You don’t need to hire someone to install it, or read a complicated technical manual to connect your devices to it. For most routers, you’ll connect an ethernet cable from one of the modem’s ports to the new router’s input port. Then follow the router’s directions for creating a secure wireless network in your home.

  1. The new technology I expect to add to my home this holiday season that will benefit from a new router in my home is the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 that I received as an early birthday gift from my mother.

  6. The Better Wifi signal and dual band would increase our homes network range and allow for us to get better use of our devices around the house. Wire free.

  11. We are currently in the holiday season and I just added an Xbox Series X to my home system. I’m sure that will benefit from the better connection I can get from this new router.

  14. This would be great for our apartment because of the easy installation and with all of the gaming devices in our place! Better wifi for the win!! Holiday Gaming here I come!

  29. we will be adding to our “smart devices” this Christmas, and our old router is starting to get overloaded.

  30. I’m planning on adding some more smart speakers around the house. The bedrooms are far from the router now though and the connection is a little sketchy as is.

  32. I would finally be able to add more smart devices. Right now I’m using a cheap wifi extender in order to get a dedicated 2.4GHz band to use my current smart devices. With the amount I have right now I have noticed connection issues. This would be great because I can get a 2.4Ghz band right from the source.

  34. Someone else mentioned a Doorbell Camera… I would love to just get my doorbell fixed. but a camera added to it would be great as well. So we will gladly steal that answer.

  37. We are looking to get a smart TV in our bedroom, and this router would be perfect for us to be able to have enjoyable Netflix streaming time. On top of that, it would really help with our current situation of doing Zoom video meetings in the upstairs and basement offices at the same time.

  38. I expect to add a PlayStation 5 to my home this holiday season and it would definitely benefit from a new router in my home.

  41. I’m planning on adding another laptop to my already very full network. I’m a computer programmer and farmer, both of which require me to use the internet almost constantly with all the technology that’s been integrated into agriculture. This router could save me time, which also saves me money, and gets the food I’m producing to the shelves faster!

  47. I would love to add new camera doorbell cam and this will help significantly because it increases the quality of wifi.
