The range of Wi-Fi routers is increased every day. If your eyes are running out in the store, and you do not know which model to buy, then this article is specifically for you. Below I will tell you how to choose the right router for an apartment for your needs. And you will also wait for the rating of the best models of 2019.

Popular manufacturers of Wi-Fi routers

There are many popular, and not so, firms for the production of routers. We will not list them all here, but we will allocate only the main manufacturers who stably produce new models for our market.

Immediately it is worth noting that each manufacturer releases models in different price categories. Therefore, you first need to decide on the budget, but only then select the device.

1. TP-LINK

Popular manufacturer of computer and telecommunications equipment. In our market, they are very popular thanks to a relatively low price, good quality assembly and materials. Personally, I recommend choosing a router from the assortment of this brand. As a rule, they serve for quite a long time (I served for more than 3 years) without breakdowns and failures.

2. Asus.

Computer equipment and component manufacturing company. The routers of this firm are distinguished by high price and related quality. Cheap models can be counted on fingers, but they also have mainly positive customer feedback.

3. D-LINK

Popular manufacturer of network equipment. The assortment has a large number of routers of various price categories. The company specializes exclusively on network technologies, so there is only a qualitative product in its segment.

4. Zyxel

Major Taiwanese network equipment manufacturing company. The production of routers is one of the main directions of the company. The prices of the company's equipment differ markedly. There are models for budget buyers, and there are models for people with an unlimited budget.

5. Huawei.

The rapidly developing Chinese company, which occupies one of the leading places in its industry. Now the company is actively developing the production of network equipment. Customer customer reviews are mostly positive.

Let's not stay at the choice of the manufacturer's company. In any case, to argue which brand is better, meaningless. You need to choose among specific models that are suitable for budget and characteristics. You can compare the best models of routers in the table below.

Choose a router for home. What you should pay attention to?

Each device is intended for certain purposes and tasks. If you first buy a router, it is important to correctly evaluate the characteristics of the device so that they coincide with your requirements. Below we will write a certain list of characteristics that will help choose the best router for home or office.

WAN-port type

The most basic is the WAN port. This characteristic is indicated on all models. It depends on your Internet, so it is important not to be mistaken with the choice of this option, otherwise the router is simply not suitable for you. There are three main types:

• Ethernet- This is a standard connection type, which is available almost on all modern Wi-Fi routers. If the Internet in your home is connected via the network cable (not via the phone), then this type of connection is suitable for you.
• ADSL modem - These are routers that are connected to the phone cable. note: If you already have an ordinary ADSL modem at home, then you can buy a standard router that is equipped with an Ethernet port (it can be connected through an old modem).
• 3G / 4G routers - Provide the distribution of Wi-Fi signal from a USB modem. If a modem is needed with the support of this function, look for inscription in the port characteristics: USB 3G / 4G.

Wi-Fi Signal Speed

This is one of the most important characteristics for which you need to pay attention to first. As a rule, most cheap routers (up to 1000 rubles) can provide speed up to 150 Mbps. If you expect to use Wi-Fame on 1-2 devices, then this speed will be quite enough.

I recommend paying attention to the model in the price category from 1500 rubles and higher. Such devices will give the speed Wi-Fi\u003e 300 Mbps. You can connect several devices at the same time, while the connection will not be interrupted or hang.

Also important role is played by wireless capabilities. Depending on the price category of models, we recommend choosing the following standards:

• 802.11n. - If the router is in the price category until 2000r.
• 802.11AC. - If the middle price router is or higher.

Wi-Fi work frequency

Most modern routers support two frequencies of the signal: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Due to the rapid spread of Wi-Fi in all apartments and offices, the frequency range of 2.4 GHz was quickly filled, therefore the signal transmission rate may suffer.

A newer range of 5 GHz, provided the owners of new routers a free frequency, and as a result, quick Internet without interference. Therefore, if you have means for the purchase of a router with a frequency of Wi-Fi 5 GHz, we recommend that you stay in this embodiment.

There are also two-way routers that support both two frequencies simultaneously. But such models, as a rule, are a little more expensive.

Routher Power and Radius

This is also a fairly important question, especially if you have a large apartment or country house.

As a rule, in the characteristics, the radius of the router model is not specified. And this is understandable, because a large number of external factors affect this characteristic, which each buyer differ (wall thickness, type of walls, frequency range and other interference).

But how then to choose a Wi-Fi router for a large room?

• Number of antennas. As a rule, the presence of two or three antennas much enhances the signal, and increases the radius of the router. On expensive models, the presence of 3 and more antennas affects the signal transmission rate, and not by radius.
• Power antennas. We recommend choosing models in which antennas are installed with a power of 5DBI.
• User reviews. Most often, users lead real examples in comments. You can compare them with your indoor, and pick up a suitable model.

If it still failed to cover the whole room with one router, then it is better to buy additional.

disadvantages .

Today it is difficult to submit your life without wireless Internet, or, as it is called on the conversational slang "Wi-Fi" (Wi-Fi). For the possibility of its functioning, special routers are responsible. When choosing them, you should pay attention to the following parameters:

• RAM and processor. Optimally, if the model will have at least 32 MB of RAM and the frequency of the calculator from 240 MHz. This will allow the router to work without loading and always provide sufficient access speed.
• Modes of operation and plug-in interfaces. These characteristics determine the purpose of the router. Most devices provide an access point, bridge creation, repeater or client - these modes allow you to connect a router and make it a source of the Wi-Fi signal.
• Signal frequency. In most cases, it is 2.4 GHz, but because of the wide distribution of these devices in homes, almost all subchannels are occupied, which negatively affects the stability of work and speed. It is better to choose a two-band model, where the second channel ends the signal at 5 GHz.
• Protection protocol that encrypts data and does not allow third parties to connect to Wi-Fi. Most devices support WPA and WPA2 are the most reliable protocols.
• The power of the antenna, which is measured in the DBI. Than this parameter is higher, the larger the device has a device. For home it is advisable to choose routers with a strong signal.
• Supported protocols. The most common IPv4 has a 32-bit IP address length. But some models have already equipped with the TCP IPv6 - the most progressive data transmission protocol.
• Availability of current software on the official website. It is not a fact that when selling on the router, the latest firmware will be installed, and the available software may contain errors that prevent the normal operation of the device.

Country: China
The average price: 14 440 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8

The only representative of the final category is the device of the popular Chinese company Xiaomi. Competitors at the MI Router HD, of course, are, but they are sold in single copies of transcendental prices, and therefore we cannot recommend to buy them.

The design of the router corresponds to other Xiaomi products - a metal minimalistic case with four antennas looks harmoniously in almost any interior. This is important, because so much "box" (195x146x96mm) is difficult to hide from eyes. With a fairly powerful Qualcomm processor, 512 MB of RAM and, most importantly, a hard disk for 1 TB. On the back cover 3 LAN and 1 WAN port, as well as USB. Wireless Internet meets 802.11ac and can work immediately in two ranges: 2.4 and 5 GHz, there is support for MIMO.

Overview of the most powerful routers for the house in 2015

Zyxel Keenetic Giga II. Price ~ 3.700 p.

Probably it would be more correct not to include this WiFi router in this rating, because It cannot be attributed to the category of the most powerful routers. But on the other hand, it is impossible to attribute it to it too - all the same, the price is not small.

Of the notable characteristics, it is necessary to note the presence of gigabit Ethernet ports and integer two multifunctional USB ports. We also note that this model is very stable in work.

From explicit drawbacks, you need to mention the support of the wireless network of only 802.11n 300 Mbps and one frequency range of 2.4 GHz.
