Top Routers 2023

MSI’s RadiX AXE6600 is a slick-looking Wi-Fi 6E gaming router that performs well at close range, but isn't a great choice for spreading 6GHz signals far and wide.

The TP-Link Archer AX3200 is a reasonably priced, tri-band Wi-Fi 6 router that offers multi-gig networking and good throughput performance.

The Wyze Mesh Router is a two-piece, dual-band mesh system that provides strong Wi-Fi 6 coverage for homes up to 3,000 square feet.

TP-Link's Archer AX21 is a value-priced dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router that's short on features but a solid performer.

The TP-Link Archer AX75 is a capable tri-band Wi-Fi 6 router that delivers good throughput performance and comes with parental controls, but its Wi-Fi 6E-capable sibling could be a better choice.

While the Motorola Q11’s simple set up process, included security software and good throughput close-up add up to a top ranked mesh kit, it falls short of the mark when it comes to overall performance. Still, it’s a bargain at less than half the price of other Wi-Fi 6 mesh routers and just might be enough for most homes.

The Synology RT6600ax is a tri-band Wi-Fi 6 router that offers multi-gig connectivity and strong parental-control and network-security software. It’s a solid performer but not a particularly good value.

The Linksys Hydra Pro 6 is a mesh-capable Wi-Fi 6 router that delivers fast throughput and 160MHz bandwidth, but lacks robust network security tools.

The Rock Space RSD0619 is an affordable dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router that is easy to manage and provides strong 2.4GHz throughput.

The TP-Link Archer AX73 Wi-Fi 6 router delivers solid 5GHz Wi-Fi performance and good parental controls, but it lacks multi-gig ports and link aggregation.
