On top of that, this one also has a faster RAM and Flash memory. The HomeCare feature it utilizes is an anti-virus that protects every single device connected to the network.Īnd lastly, this router lets you set up a personal VPN server to browse the web and access files securely unlike the Linksys AC5400 (one of its strong competitor, also considered as the best Linksys router).

It’s also worth noting that this router takes security seriously. This router also comes with MU-MIMO (multi-user, multiple-input, multiple-output) technology, which simply means the router can communicate with multiple devices simultaneously at once (rather than having to rapidly switch between devices), ensuring a strong and stable connection. But when it comes to wireless connectivity, you can definitely count on it. Like the rest of the consumer wireless routers, this only has 4 LAN ports. So even if your new device is connected to the internet, you still can’t access the internet unless you “allow” the device via Access Control.Ī couple things we love about the TP-Link Archer C5400 v2 are its max speed of up to 5400 Mbps and its tri-band support (1x 2.4GHz and 2x 5.0GHz). This router also lets you choose which devices can have access to the internet. It’s just unfortunate that this doesn’t have the QoS (Quality of Service) feature that prioritizes data packets for a more stable and reliable wireless connection. It also has a total of 6x LAN ports and 2x USB 3.0 ports that you can use as a storage hub for all your files to make transfers a lot faster. And you just can’t simply extend the coverage by buying more than one because it’s not a mesh system (oh and these come at a premium price tag). However, this has a limited range, unlike the Google WiFi. With that, it’s clear that this is a strong candidate for the best gigabit router on the list– even the best Netgear router to date. Unlike most routers on the list, this features the latest 802.11ad WiFi standard– supporting the 60GHz band that’s insanely faster (close to 1Gbps throughput) but also insanely shorter coverage.


But the 4 antennas aren’t just for show because it also features the 60GHz band on top of the 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz bands. Out of the box, the NetGear R9000 Nighthawk X10 AD7200 features a really aggressive design.
