A router is the node of your home network that connects all your (wireless) devices to each other and to the internet. But which one should you have? The editors of BestGetest took a close look at the current router range.
By BestTestedThis is a shortened version of the article on BestTested on the best routers of 2022.
The router with the best value for money: Fritzbox 4060
The FritzBox has a somewhat crazy name, but is extremely versatile. It is very comprehensive and easy to set up. In addition to the WiFi radio, it also has a DECT radio on board. With this you can, for example, connect DECT in-house telephones with the special telephone switchboard function. DECT can also be used to connect smart home products, such as smart lamps or a motion sensor from the company that also manufactures these routers.
The advantage of FritzBox is that you do not need a lot of knowledge to set up the router. The interface is easy to understand and it is clear what options you have. The layout is neat and that makes this router extra pleasant to use. You can also connect guests or children to the network and limit the internet via the same settings.
Alternative for families: TP-Link AX55
The TP-Link Archer AX55 is also a router with many functions for a good price. This router is fast, easy to use for ‘beginners’ and contains many features for the experienced router owner. A clear and clear menu makes the router easy to use. For example, it is more inviting to try new features. That is why we recommend the TP-Link AX55, because it contains many options and you can set it up quickly and easily via the free app.
The router is relatively high and has vents at the top. On the front, LED lights indicate the status of the device. There are many ports available, so you can connect four devices wired.
In addition, the device supports Wi-Fi 6, which makes it very future-proof. With Wi-Fi 6, you can connect more devices without losing coverage. In addition, it can provide higher speeds.
