Description

In today’s world, a router is an essential device. With nearly every device in your household requiring Internet access to function, stringing your home full of Category 5 cable isn’t a feasible option for many families. With a router, you can connect a multitude of different devices to the Internet without the hassle of pesky wires always underfoot. However, just like any technological device, buying a new router isn’t just as easy as picking up the first one you see at the store. Learning what to look for in a router will ensure you get the one that works best for your situation.



THE FACTS YOU NEED TO KNOW
Location is everything. Select a spot for your router that isn’t blocked by thick walls or other devices outputting their own signals, like a microwave.
Brand isn’t as important as the technology inside the router. Don’t just go straight for the familiar brand names when choosing a router.
Money isn’t everything. Just because a router is more expensive, doesn’t mean it’s a better product.
Don’t buy features you don’t need. For example, you don’t need a router with a USB port if you aren’t going to share files or if you don’t own a USB printer.
Plan for the future. Just because you don’t use the 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard now, doesn’t mean you might not use it two years from now.
Make sure the router you buy will work with your operating system. If you own Windows 10 and your new router only works on Windows 8, you just bought an expensive paperweight.
