Introduction

A WI-Fi Network is useful for more than just binge-watching Netflix at home. There are endless opportunities to use our new wireless network, whether that is creating a home media server, steaming games, or sharing files. It’s imperative to know four things before intending to buy a wi-fi router for our home. Read the article to get the admin username and password for your IP address. Wireless is now the default standard when connecting to the internet, with smartphones going devoid of wired connection entirely. 

Wi-fi was introduced way back in 1998. It wasn’t until almost a decade later that it entered the mainstream. Despite the widespread perception, wi-fi does not stand for wireless fidelity, instead of its brand name for the technology based on the IEEE802.11b standard for radio-based wireless networking devices connected to a WI-FI Network Translate data into Radio Signals that Transmit Data Across the Network. Wi-fi Radios Transmit at Frequencies of Either 2.4 GHZ or 5GHZ, Networks on the 2.4GHZ band have Max speeds of 450Mbps, While 5 GHz Network Max out of at 1300Mbps.

 These are theoretical top speeds, though it will vary depending on a range of conditions, including which wi-fi standard the network uses. The most popular use for wi-fi is to connect devices to the broader internet. 

The internet is connected via a complex web of underground cables, so before wi-fi, our only option was to use a cable to connect up to individual devices. But as the data enters our homes through cables, how to make it wireless. 

The router is the central mode of our Home Network, it connects either directly to our network cable or via a Modem all in- Bound Traffic or data outBound Traffic. It is then passed through the router. Wi-fi Radio is built into the router so that the data can turn into radio waves to broadcast to receive Data from connected devices. They are run on LINUX Based Operating Systems, with many providing a web interface to manage Router settings and monitor Network activity. 

Now comes the third thing. Depending on our Internet Service Provider (ISP), We need to buy a Router, router, and separate Modem. Nearly all ISPs use either DSL or Fibre for their service, which requires signal conversion by a Modem. 

Most modern routers have Modem built-in. So we only need one device. Now comes the best part, with many hundreds of models to choose from, all with similar Names and complex terminology. Choosing a router can be an exhausting task. We should note which Routers features are most important to us. 

Our requirement will likely be different if we intend to use our WI-Fi Network for online gaming or work. Now comes the fourth point is to secure and optimize a wi-fi Network. Once we have signed up with an ISP & Purchased Router, we need to set up a home network, and there is some common consideration that must be taken while going for New Routers. 

As the router is the entry point to our home network (frontline Defence for Network Security), it’s imperative to change WIFI ADMIN Password if you care about speed and reliability on our home network.

Earlier, ETHERNET has been the answer. If we need speed improvement, increase bandwidth WI-FI-6 or 802.11ax is the newest certified version of 802.11. It made a debut this year during the COVID-19 pandemic. Summing up, the potential impact is a bit unwarranted, saying it will make the wi-fi network run faster. Yes, things are going to be speedier than before. 

The key to wi-fi 6 is it will reshape the way routers handle the growing number of internet-connected devices in our homes or workplaces. The branch-like CISCO, NETGEAR, ASUS, UBIQUITI & T -LINK is already rolling out, including new mesh options.

Meanwhile, the SAMSUNG GALAXY S10 was the first phone to support wi-fi 6, and the new iPhone 11 & iPhone 11 PRO, PRO MAX, all support it. WI-FI 6 would offer real-world speeds that are approximately 30% faster than WI-FI 5. Here is what we need to build our best home network, along with a review of the best Routers we have tested for a range of needs and budgets.

TOP SIX (6) WI-FI 2020 Models of routers are as per the parameters (viz, speed, width)

1. NETGEAR Nighthawk RAX 50

2. TP-Link Archer AX1500

3. Linksys MAX-STREAM MRT 350

4 NETGEAR Nighthawk MK6

5.ASUS ZEN Wi-Fi X T8

6. TP-LINK Archer AX6000

1. Netgear Nighthawk RAX 50

This has plenty of speed, excellent coverage, and the price is quite competitive. Wi-fi 6 is extremely speedier with the dual-band set up- capable AX 5400 speeds,600Mbps is provided by the 2.4ghz band. Moreover, the added on is that a wide 160MHZ5GHZ can push out 4800Mbps. However, significant users won’t be able to make the best use of it, as it’s expensive, but has excellent value for money. 

Four Ethernet ports are available, so you can’t connect all devices without needing a new switch. USB 3.0 Port at the rear end flanked by 2 of the total four external antennas WPA 3 Security to ensure local connections. NETGEAR ARMOUR OPTIONAL Including Anti-virus protection from Bitdefender functional capacity for gaming & streaming without dropping speed.

2. TP-Link Archer AX1500-

 ITS IS THE BEST VALUE Is loaded with OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) & MU-MIMO( Multi-User) ARCHER AX1500 MAX SPEEDS AT 1201Mbps at 5GHZ and 300mbps at 2.4GHZ, Delivers WI FI connectivity with reliable speeds for right price Ethernet ports are at rear or back flanked by four external antennas, the size of the router or the router housing is 10.2inches x 5.3 inches deep, that is precisely not compact comparatively with other routers of the same speed, despite that is an excellent option

3. Linksys Max-Stream MR7 350,

Looks Like a standard Router, and has a lot of great features A STANDARD ROUTER, AND HAS LOT OF GREAT FEATURES, Offers AX1800 Speeds with 574 Mbps at 2.4GHZ &1201Mbps at 5GHZ. 

Suitable for any standard browsing or 4K video streaming, Four Ports on the rear or back make it easy to hook up wired devices. This Router’s biggest trick comes with LINKSYS VELOP Support. VELOP is LINKSYS MESH WI-FI Brand, & MR7350 Is Compatible with any VELOP Router. This is great.

4. Netgear Nighthawk MK 62 

Improved DUAL-BAND Technology designed for faster, more reliable connections that can handle 25 or more devices delivers speed up to AX1800, Compact Size Single Port on either Node, making this system better. Thanks to mesh system increase capacity and consistency with wi-fi 6

5.ASUS Zenwifi X T8

It was the first company to introduce mesh capable WI-FI 6 System, and the legacy continues with purpose design ZENWIFI XT8 Delivers speed AX6600 TRI-BAND Connection 3 Ports per Unit. It accepts 2.5Gbps input, making it a getaway to add wi-fi to a fast-wired connection with nodes. It can cover up to 5500 sq. ft with the ability to easily expand it later.

6. TP-LINK Archer AX6000

One of the few wi-fi 6 Routers to pack in eight ETHERNET Ports That means to keep our wired Devices connected without adding another switch, thus making our Network set-up more straight forward. It accepts 2.5 Mbps Inputs, Allowing it to keep pace with several Devices asking for top download speeds. At the same time, most Internet connections Max out around 1Gbps, This can still be an excellent addition to a network with the fastest addition to a system with a speedier storage server. 

It is very significant, with eight thick Antennas folding up from the center. It’s somewhat thicker than many Routers to accommodate the two rows of four ETHERNET Ports. It has dual USB Ports for natural storage expansion, with one of them being USB Type-c. This Router will work for nearly any home Network. 

Still, it will be larger than necessary for someone that only needs a couple of wired connections. The internet has become an integral part of living, amazing. 54.29 % of Indian households have internet access as per the data released in the early part of 2020. Additionally, more or less the same percentage of homes have broadband connection via wireless technologies.
