Wireless Routers

Wireless Routers covers all-in-one Wi-Fi routers for homes, small offices and branches: TP-Link's TL-WR940N, Netgear Nighthawk models including the C7000 cable modem router, the R6900, Ubiquiti UniFi LTE and UFiber units, and older HP MSR-920-W branch routers with built-in wireless. Check whether a model includes a modem: a cable gateway like the C7000 connects straight to a cable line, while most routers need a separate modem or ONT.

Buying guide

Small-office Wi-Fi routers

  1. Modem built in or not

    Cable gateways include a DOCSIS modem; standard routers need a modem or fiber ONT in front of them.

  2. Wi-Fi standard

    802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) routers still serve most offices; dual-band models keep older 2.4GHz devices off the faster 5GHz band.

  3. Cellular backup

    LTE routers like the UniFi LTE add a mobile connection as a failover link when the main line drops.

Frequently asked questions

Will a cable modem router work with my internet provider?

Only if the provider supports that model on its network. Cable providers keep lists of approved devices, so check before buying.

What's the difference between a wireless router and an access point?

A wireless router also handles routing, NAT and DHCP for the network. An access point just adds Wi-Fi to an existing network.
