Having a stable and fast internet connection is essential in today’s digital world, especially since the pandemic started the work-from-home-setup movement. That’s why we’ve rounded up some of the fastest and strongest WiFi routers in the market today. This is to ensure that your router at home is powerful and strong enough to handle your internet connection without any issues.

Top 6 Fastest and Strongest WiFi Routers for Optimal Performance

We’ve made sure that each option in this list has the minimum features that we feel every router should have: WiFi 6 and above, dual-band support of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands or more, and a wide enough range to cover an entire household.

TP-Link Archer AX23

The TP-Link Archer AX23 is a great option for those who want to upgrade from their stock router to a more capable one.

While the AX23 isn’t going to blow your socks off, it offers the essentials in providing WiFi 6, 2-3 bedroom house coverage, and a respectable 1.8 Gbps WiFi connection. The best thing about the AX23, however, is its price. Usually sold at a retail price of Php 4,190USD 71INR 6,053EUR 68CNY 520, you can find them on sale for Php 2,590USD 44INR 3,742EUR 42CNY 321 on both Shopee and Lazada.

TP-LINK Archer AX55

Bumping up a bit in price is the TP-LINK Archer AX55. Providing all of the features of the AX23, the AX55 ups the ante by providing faster speeds at 2.4 GBps, wider coverage that accommodates up to 3 bedroom houses (from the AX23’s 2-3), and additional HomeShield Security features.

The AX55 also has high-power FEM, DFS, and USB 3.0 port, which the AX23 does not have.

It retails at Php 5,000USD 85INR 7,223EUR 81CNY 621 but can be found for Php 4,299USD 73INR 6,210EUR 70CNY 534 at online stores. If you have the extra budget to spare, we think spending more for the AX55 is the right move.
