Whether you need wifi for your apartment or corporation,
choosing the wrong router will slow down the loading time for webpages and the
download time for fileson any device connected to the internet. The perfect
router depends on its purpose, range, and speed, and is correlated with how
much you’re willing to spend to have the best features.
Price
The first question to ask is how much are you willing to
spend to create and setup a wifi network? Routers usually start at
around $30 and can be as pricy as $400 per router. If you conduct business in a
large building or office space, it would be best to have multiple routers or expanded access points in wide areas. This is so your
network users don’t have to stand around the closest modem to connect to the
internet properly.
Purpose
Some wifi routers are built specifically to aid the purpose
of being connected. For example, the best routers to use for watching and streaming
high-definition videos are either dual-band or tri-band, meaning there are
multiple streams between devices and therefore faster speeds. If you’re simply
going to use the routers to surf the web and you’re only connected on one to
three devices, a simple, cheap wifi router will do.
Speed
Choosing the right speed for your wifi router
will determine whether or not you can update your stream fast enough. It will
also make all the difference when you’re having a difficult time sending out a
mass email to your coworkers. The biggest deciding factor when choosing the
right speed is knowing how many devices will be connected to your network.
For one to three devices, anything from N150 to N300 will work. With four to
seven devices, an N450 would be a better option. The best routers when using
eight or more devices have N speeds of 600 or greater.
Range
Speed and range are the two main factors when choosing the
right wifi router. Small households and apartments can use the cheapest router
because the range doesn’t need to scour very far. For medium sized houses,
dual-band routers N900 and up should be used to cover a wider range. Large
homes should consider using routers that have a speed of AC900 or higher. And,
once again, multiple routers should be purchased for devices used in a
large-scale business environment or wifi expansion devices.
A Word of Caution
Many people that take it upon themselves to set up their
wireless router end up having slower speeds, a smaller range, and may
incorrectly feel like their purchase was not intended for the purpose of using
that router. It’s best to find a local service that can help you properly setup
your wifi network to get full use of your router.
