Network lag is the biggest NO in the world of gaming – graphics and performance are more tolerable than connectivity issues. And for that reason, we have the ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 AC5300 for you. 

For starters, it's a beast of a machine that's blazing super fast. There are eight gigabit LAN ports if you want to go wired. Moreover, it has a stable consistent 5300Mbps data transfer. In a nutshell, you can enjoy gaming wirelessly without even feeling that it is wireless (granted you have sufficient speed from your ISP).

Aside from the above, it has Alexa voice commands and a number of gamer-friendly features that will make your gaming sessions more convenient. The only drawback is that it's quite pricey. Hey, no pain no gain, right?

If you're consistently travelling and often have to stay in small hotel rooms and such, there's no better companion to have than the TP-LINK TL-WR840N. This device is ideal for those who need to have a reliable stream of data while on-the-go. 

The TP-LINK TL-WR840N has a top speed of 300Mbps but a very small coverage. Basically, you’d want to be near it to get the most out of it. It utilizes Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) technology that automatically avoids channel conflicts. So, you're guaranteed to have an uninterrupted connection, which is vital when video streaming or having important business meetings online.

We believe that every household should have the ASUS RT-AC86U AC2900. This device can provide a steady fast internet connection without having any sophisticated settings, which is desirable as not everyone is tech-savvy. 

However, if you do want to change a few things, it still has all the customizable options ready for you. You can choose between 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz for your frequency band and make use of its extra security settings. It also has a USB 3.1 Gen 1 that the family can use for network storage, printing, or for other shared devices. 

What makes it even better is that it's reasonably priced at less. The only drawback we can think of is that you only have the option to place it in an upright position with no wall-mount options available.

However, the top speed it can provide is only LTE (give or take 10Mbps). Nonetheless, it's a fine piece of tech for those who plan on travelling outside the country.

If you need a router that's best for sharing devices such as printers, fax machines, or anything that needs to be connected via a USB, then the Netgear R7000P AC2300 Nighthawk is for you. It's the WiFi router we recommend for work offices with a touch of gaming, too. 

The Netgear R7000P AC2300 Nighthawk is absolutely on the high-end as its maximum speed is clocked at 2300Mbps. It provides five Ethernet ports and two USB ports. Moreover, it has extra security features that you can set to make your network more resistant from hackers. 

When it comes to aesthetics, we have to say that it's one of the best-looking routers in the market. It's also very easy to install and is reasonably priced for a gaming-grade wireless router.

Establishing a strong VPN (virtual public network) is not an easy task, but that's not the case when you have the Synology Router RT2600ac. This router can host a number of broadband connections with ease. Furthermore, it works as a solid network storage server when you attach an external hard drive into it.

It's another wireless router that we strongly recommend for the office. Although it is pricey, it does provide more range, which is ideal when setting up a VPN. But what makes it a champion when it comes to setting up is its dashboard, which just makes life easier as it is well-organized and easy to understand.

Some wireless routers aren't just for extending you connectivity. Some like the Huawei B310 4G allows you to connect directly to the internet through 4G. You’d only need to insert a SIM card and add some airtime or load into it.

It's easy to set up, and it can be theoretically used anywhere in the world as long as there's sufficient 4G signal. The only downside with this device is that the speed isn't that fast and there could be some minor connectivity issues. 

We recommend this wireless router to those who are in need of a backup internet connection. Anyone working online or even small businesses will appreciate this whenever there are downtimes on their current ISP.

If you want full customization on your WiFi router, then you'd want the Linksys EA9500S-AH | Max-Stream. This device isn't for the average user, so we only recommend you buying it if you're tech-savvy enough or have someone who’ll to set it up for you. 

It's one of the few routers on the list with eight-gigabit ports and a powerful 1.8GHz Quad-Core CPU. Utilising Next-Gen AC Wi-Fi and MU-MIMO technology, you can expect a stable wireless connection. Moreover, it's super fast and can clock up to 5.3Gbps.

The device is ideal for large offices or businesses that require a consistent connection 24/7. Although it is expensive, it's fully customizable and can be even used purely as an access point when setting it to AP mode.

Network security is essential for every router. But if you want one that's easy to establish and provides an extra defense to your local network, then the Linksys WRT1900ACS-AP is for you. It automatically scans your firewall and optimizes it for better protection.

The brank Linksys is well-known for its customization. This means that at times, it's not user-friendly. But this one is an exemption. It has a maximum speed of 1300Mbps, decent range, and has four gigabit Ethernet ports.
