Your wireless router is in charge of managing all of the data that goes into and out of your house through your internet service provider’s networks (ISP).
And although the top Best Buy routers in Consumer Reports’ evaluations keep things running smoothly, transmitting the material from sources such as Netflix, Disney+, and Xbox Live without a hitch, some models perform far better than others in this regard.
‘If I’m paying for a 200-megabit internet connection, can I really receive data at that speed with my wireless router?’ asks Richard Fisco, director of electronics testing at Consumer Reports. “Is it possible to obtain data at that speed with my wireless router?” A decent Best Buy router can assist you in making certain that the response is yes. It may be necessary to visit a store, however, if you are experiencing problems with dead spots or slow connections, according to Fisco.
As of right now, we have 56 models in our ratings, which are divided into two categories: wireless (also known as single-unit) models and multi-unit mesh WiFi devices.

A single-unit Best Buy router is a device that connects directly to your modem. In addition to a central device that connects to the modem, mesh WiFi routers include one or two satellites that may be strategically placed throughout your home. The units then “speak” to one another, resulting in the formation of a mesh network.
A single Best Buy router is usually sufficient for flats and small homes, but if you live in a bigger house, a mesh router may be a better option. Especially true nowadays, with so many of us working from home and children who are striving to study through distance education. If you want to maximize coverage, you can move the satellite units around the room, directing the WiFi signal around common obstacles such as doors, walls, and appliances.
There are currently a number of these Best Buy routers that are compatible with WiFi 6, the most recent wireless standard, which promises faster speeds as well as improved support for the vast number of connected devices that are found in the ordinary household. Please keep in mind that in our evaluations, WiFi 6 is referred to by its more technical term, 802.11ax.
Here’s our pick of the Best Buy routers in our ratings, ranked by score and evaluated on a variety of criteria, including how well they perform as well as how well they safeguard your privacy and security.
