Archer BE3600 packs in plenty of features and loads of ports for the price.

With Wi-Fi 6E-powered routers, you’re able to use a brand new band in addition to the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands found on all of the best routers.

While there are still plenty of reasons to ditch your ISP -supplied router, the waters are becoming a bit murkier.

TP-Link Deco XE75 packs in Wi-Fi 7’s best features like Multi-Link Operation and 4K-QAM at a budget price.

The Archer BE3600 has three gigabit Ethernet ports for your other wired devices too and even a USB port for sharing data across your network.

It's also fully equipped for multi-gig internet with a 2.5 Gbps WAN port and another.
