About WikiRouter

WikiRouter lists Wi-Fi routers for a home or a small office: single routers, gaming routers, travel routers and mesh kits. Network switches, range extenders, access points, modems, firewalls, antennas and mounting brackets are left out, and so are the power routers used in woodworking. Next to each router you see the words its seller used and the price last read from the store.

What a listing's title tells us

The Wi-Fi standard, the band count, the speed class printed as a code, the coverage in square feet, the pack size, a mesh claim, a fast port, a gaming label, a travel label and a 4G or 5G slot are all copied from the title the seller wrote. Where a title is silent on one of them, the field is left blank rather than guessed from a sibling model or a maker's name. A speed class such as AX3000 is the seller's label for the product and not a speed anyone measured here.

No router here has been plugged in

We have not set up, timed or moved a single router in this catalog, so there is no ranking by real speed, no verdict on range through walls and no promise about how a firmware update will behave. The Wi-Fi and security pages from standards bodies and agencies gathered under Learn explain what the terms mean and what a title can and cannot show.

A price carries its time

A price on this site is a store reading with its timestamp beside it. Once a reading is stale it comes off the page instead of posing as the current figure, and the amount you finally pay is the one on the store's checkout screen.

Guides and Learn

The buying guides compare routers only on the specifications sellers print and on the price. Terms such as mesh, tri-band, backhaul and Wi-Fi 7 are explained in Learn, and the front page shows how many routers the catalog holds.
