We run through the best gaming routers to ensure you can play without delay.
The best budget gaming router you'll find in 2021. With throughput speeds that best most other routers we've tested, such as 5 GHz speeds that we clocked at 311 Mbps, the Archer outperforms its price point.
Speed: AC1900 | Wi-Fi: 5 (802.11ac) | LAN Ports: 4 | Antennas: 3 | Processor: Dual-core 1GHz
Terrific Wi-Fi 6 performance on a budget. In testing, the AX4 achieved great performance numbers when it came to throughput, with a close testing speed of 344 Mbps on 2.4 GHz frequency, and 345 Mbps on 5 GHz.
Speed: AX3000 (Dual-band 2400(5GHz)+ 600(2.4GHz) Mbps wireless speed) | Wi-Fi: 6 (802.11ax) | LAN Ports: 4 | Antennas: 2 | Processor: Dual-core
TP-Link's latest high-end gaming router is a significant improvement over previous models, and now ranks among the best gaming routers around. We love that the C5400X is so easy to set-up and use.
Speed: AC5400 | Wi-Fi: 5 (802.11ac) | LAN Ports: 8 | Antennas: 8 | Processor: quad-core 1.8GHz
A class-leading router that delivers exceptional 5 GHz speeds. While 2.4 GHz speeds clocked in at a decent 171 Mbps during our testing, 5 GHz hit a throughout speed of 334 Mpbs—the fastest we've seen from any router.
Speed: AX11000 (Tri-band 2.4 GHz - 1148 Mbps x 1, 5 GHz - 4,804Mbps x 2) | Wi-Fi: 6 (802.11ax) | LAN Ports: 4 | Antennas: 8 | Processor: Quad-core 1.8GHz
A superb router that packs in the right ingredients, with one WAN and six LAN ports, support for link aggregation, and even a 10 Gigabit LAN SFP+ port for ridiculously fast Ethernet bandwidth.
Speed: AD7200 (Tri-band 4600(AD) + 1733(5GHz)+ 800(2.4GHz) Mbps wireless speed) | Wi-Fi: 5 (802.11ac) | LAN Ports: 7 | Antennas: 4 | Processor: Quad-core 1.7GHz
The best high-end router you can currently buy. The RT-AX88U features next-gen Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) tech, and an impressive eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, which even support link aggregation. Its 5 GHz speeds are tough to beat.
Speed: AX6000 | Wi-Fi: 6 (802.11ax) | LAN Ports: 8 | Antennas: 4 | Processor: Quad-core 1.8GHz
