Best Wireless Router 2018 For 200 Mbps Internet

I was having issues with my smart devices and streaming HDTV. My wireless system was only giving me about 100 Mbps even though my cable internet was 800 Mbps. I looked into buying faster internet and discovered if I I wanted the cable company’s top speed of 1.2 Gbps, I needed a new modem. I purchased the latest and greatest cable modem, which was one model newer and capable of 2.5 Gbps. My internet speed didn’t get better. So, I decided to replace my wireless router. I researched the wireless routers available. The three key areas I concentrated on were the WAN connection speed, coverage and wireless specifications included. The ASUS ZenWiFi Pro ET12 was the best in all three categories and the only router I found that had all three top of the line specifications. WAN - 2.5 Gbps Wireless - WiFi 6E Home Coverage - One router and one node replaced one router and five nodes. My coverage is better with less nodes. All my smart devices and my streaming HDTV are working great and I’m getting 950 Mbps internet speed. Smartest upgrade I’ve made.

Before I acquired the Unifi U6 Lite as part of the wireless upgrade solution (including a Unifi Dream Router - UDR and U6 Mesh Access Point), my client's wireless internet speed from their ISP modem was just 7.16Mbps... After the Unifi upgrade, not only did we have increased and more reliable wireless coverage, but the recorded internet speed test jumped from 7.16Mbps to 522Mbps...a 72.90 times speed increase!!! Impressive!!

My cable provider’s internet router has such bad coverage in our house. I would try to watch my favorite shows, but was unable because my speed was 5 mbps upstairs. Getting the Orbi, my whole home now has the same excellent internet speed of 80 mbps. Plus I have added security and a simple app to control everything! Love it!

My previous modem was throttling my internet speed, so I upgraded the modem, router and satellite to this 2 piece system. Installation was extremely simple and fast, took longer to unbox and call Xfinity to assign the modem than to do initial setup. Units look much better when in plain view than the previous electronics. Up and running, my download speed went from avg 60-100 mbps to a consistent 480 mbps. (My Xfinity contract includes 400 mbps data speed) The Orbi software for monitoring and is informative and easy to use or change settings.

Recently upgraded my internet from 200-400 mbps from Spectrum. Early speed tests had different numbers from different devices (hardwired or wifi). Spoke with Netgear support and they helped me troubleshoot the issues. I know doing this was a process, but it was worth it (40 min later). It drastically changed the numbers and now consistently have the same numbers at near 500 mbps (hardwired), a little over 450 (wifi), upload at a constant 23. Keep in mind I use the Netgear router R6700axs. Great pair together. Now my streaming on all platforms are always clear, no lagging. Have had this for 2 weeks. So far so good.

Bought this to replace Netgear R7000 that overheated last summer- all my equipment is in my unheated/uncooled garage. I picked this router for its temperature rating to 122F, otherwise I could have gotten ER-X. My plan from Spectrum is 200/20, I just tested the speed wirelessly, using older Samsung tablet and got between 140-170 Mbps, using 3 different test sites. My wireless is done by 2 Unifi APs. Wired speed was over 200 Mbps. Even though the manufacturer's instructions for setting this router up are not clear (for me, anyway), there are a few videos on YouTube. I am not an IT person but I had it up and running in about 15-20 min.

We have a n router, not an AC standard router, but, compared to the adapter built into our relatively new laptop, the wireless download speed increased from about 20 Mbps to 36. Our hard wired service from Comcast into the router is about 85-90 Mbps so there is speed loss in wireless, but it's much less with this adapter than the one that is built into our Dell laptop. Plus, if we ever buy a new router, (and possible upgrade our Comcast internet service), we may be able to take advantage of the higher AC band speed.

I am very impressed with the RT2600AC Wireless Dual-Band Gigabit Router. It was very easy to setup and update the firmware. It was so much easier than the troublesome TP-Link Archer AC1900 that I replaced. The Synology Router firmware does not require compression software. You just click find update and load it with the control software that is included. The dual bands are more than capable of handling many devices with ease. I have the Blast 150 Mbps package and my Xfinity speeds are now 230-240 Mbps. I am extremely pleased and highly recommend this router. I will buy Synology again. B&H is also fantastic.

I got this new mesh router after upgrading my internet provider to fiber optic. I went from 200/10 to 500/500 however my old router couldn’t get anywhere near max speed over WiFi. This router gets very close and has much longer range.

I needed internet access in an old building next to my house. It is too far away from my house to be supported by my wireless router. However, it does share electrical wiring with my house. Running new Cat5 cables was not a good solutions for a variety of reasons so I decided to try TP-Link's AV100 Gigabit Powerline Starter kit. The setup was very easy, basically plug and play. The price was very affordable. While not as fast as a direct connection, it still meets my needs.
