The internet is one of the greatest inventions in human history, and its increasing accessibility is a great thing for convenience and usability. What used to require a hard connection can now be accessed wirelessly, assuming you have the right equipment. Virtually every electronic device has some kind of WiFi connection these days, from smartphones and TVs to video game consoles and smart home setups, WiFi is a necessity in the modern living space.

The best way to get a fast WiFi signal is through a router. Connect one to your internet modem to beam the WiFi signal wirelessly to any enabled device in the area. Whether you are looking for great signal coverage, lightning-fast speeds, or just something to get you moving, there are wireless routers for every need.

Picking out the right wireless router can be tough, considering the staggering number of options out there, but we've done the work to gather a list of our favorites. Read on to find one that works for you.

TL;DR – These are the Best Wireless Routers:

The 1.6GHz processor should keep even your most demanding traffic flowing properly, even if you're blanketed in everyone else's Wi-Fi at an apartment building.
