Wi-Fi 6 is the latest, fastest version of Wi-Fi and we're expecting to see lots of new models that support it soon. And watch this space, because we're expecting to see new Wi-Fi 6E routers capable of accessing newly opened bandwidth in the 6GHz band soon, including multiple routers that were teased at this year's all-virtual CES tech showcase. Whether you're interested in gaming routers, mesh systems, Wi-Fi 6 routers - or if you just want something decent that won't break the bank and won't require you to switch your devices back to a wired connection tethered to an access point for the fastest internet connection possible - we're here to point you in the right direction. Now, the growing number of new, second-gen mesh router options is worth paying attention to as well - particularly since so many of them are so much less expensive than the router combo systems that came before them.īetween mesh and Wi-Fi 6, you'll find a number of interesting new options if you're currently in the market for an upgrade. Wi-Fi 6, which was first introduced a few years ago, is the latest generation of Wi-Fi and it boasts faster, more efficient home network performance. A quality Wi-Fi connection is awfully nice to have if you're spending a lot of time working or attending school from home due to the pandemic and have more than one connected device pulling bandwidth at the same time.
