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 4,190, you can find them on sale for Php 2,590 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 5,000 but can be found for Php 4,299 at online stores. If you have the extra budget to spare, we think spending more for the AX55 is the right move.
ASUS TUF Gaming AX5400
The AX5400 supports Game Device Prioritizing, which means that any gaming system connected to the router will be prioritized when playing games. It also has a Mobile Game Mode via the ASUS Router App.
We took a hands-on look at the AX5400 back in November, which you can check out here. 20
The AX5400 retails at Php 9,695 but can be found online for Php 9,200.
TP-Link Deco X50
The Deco X50 is WiFi 6-enabled, offers up to 3.0 Gbps in wireless speed, and has an AI-driven Mesh feature that learns what the most ideal setup is for your connection at home.
For the Deco X50, we recommend getting their 3-pack, which retails at Php 14,900 but can be found for around Php 11,880. The 3-pack allows you to set up multiple access points to make sure that there are no dead zones whatsoever in your home.
ASUS ZenWiFi Mini XD4
The XD4 provides wireless speeds of 1.8 Gbps and has the added bonus of being compatible with the ASUS Router App, ensuring an easy and hassle-free setup and management of your internet connection.
SRP of the Mini XD4 is Php 19,999 but you can find it online for around Php 16,729. While the XD4 comes with a heft price tag, the performance you get with its extremely wide coverage is well worth the money.
ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX6000
The Rapture also includes ASUS routers’ gaming features: Game Device Prioritization, Gaming VPN, and Mobile Game Mode. For gamers who want the best of the best, the Rapture is it.
