Spartan Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 This post was done in partnership with The Wirecutter, a list of the best technology to buy. Read the original full article below at TheWirecutter.com If I wanted the cheapest good WiFi router I could get, I would buy the TP-Link TL-WDR3600. It's a wireless-n router that costs $60 but outperforms some routers that cost twice as much. It took more than 150 hours of research and testing to find our pick. Of the 29 routers we looked at and the seven we tested, the TL-WDR3600 has the best performance for the lowest price. Our pick We'd love it if the TL-WDR3600 came with two USB 3.0 ports instead of USB 2.0 ports, but that's only a nice-to-have-the router's low price is more important. The TP-Link TL-WDR3600 is a dual-band, two-stream router that's faster, more consistent, and has better range than other routers near its price range. Unlike many cheap routers, it supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, and it has Gigabit Ethernet ports and two USB 2.0 ports for sharing printers and storage with your network. It's a great upgrade from your ISP-provided router, and it supports a connection type that's six times as fast as wireless-g (the previous standard found in routers from 2007 or earlier). Since the TL-WDR3600 is a wireless-n router, wireless-ac devices won't be as fast as they could be on a wireless-ac router. We don't think that's a dealbreaker yet. Wireless-ac only started showing up in high-end laptops, smartphones, and tablets in 2013. Wireless-n devices are still much more common. Wireless-ac devices work just fine with a wireless-n router, though. In our tests, the TL-WDR3600 even outperformed some more expensive wireless-ac routers at long range. The TL-WDR3600 is easy to set up, but beyond that its user interface is complex and unintuitive. This is a common problem with TP-Link routers, but we think this router's performance and low price make it worth the hassle. At this price, performance is more important than an interface you'll rarely have to deal with. And if you can manage the interface, you'll find features common in more expensive routers, like parental controls, guest networks, and a DLNA server for streaming media.
Spartan Posted March 27, 2015 Author Report Posted March 27, 2015 The wireless-n routers we cut to make our list of seven finalists included: N300 Amped Wireless’ R10000G ($90) was too expensive for what it offered. Other routers have more features (and support another band) for less. D-Link’s DHP-1320 ($22) was bested by TP-Link’s TL-WDR3500 ($45), which delivered similar 2.4GHz performance, but comes with an extra Ethernet port, a USB port, and 5GHz connectivity for its higher cost. TP-Link’s TL-WR841N ($20) is Amazon’s most popular router at the time we wrote this piece. None of our expert sources have reviewed it. Even if they did, we’d balk at recommending an N300 router. If your neighbors are filling the 2.4GHz band with their own networks, an N300 router won’t give you a way to address your spottier performance (unlike N600 routers, which let you escape to the 5GHz band). N450 D-Link’s DIR-665 ($100) was beaten on 2.4GHz performance by the Linksys EA3500 ($35), which also supports an additional data stream for 5GHz, guest networks, and a fully-functioning USB port (the DIR-665’s USB port cannot share data on connected drives) TRENDnet’s TEW-691GR ($42) has been discontinued. N600 Asus’s RT-N56U ($88) was beaten in price/performance by Linksys’s EA3500 ($35) and Edimax’s BR-6478AC ($81), which also offer features like parental controls and guest networks. D-Link’s DIR-827 ($76) has stronger features than the Asus RT-N56U ($88), but the latter has better performance for 5GHz that’s worth the two routers’ minor price difference. However, the Linksys EA3500 ($35) beats them both for performance and supports an additional stream for 5GHz. N750 Linksys’ E4200 ($180) is way too expensive for anyone to ever consider. For any reason. Asus’ RT-N65U ($97) is too expensive for a cheap router pick. Additionally, its 2.4GHz performance is bested by the cheaper Edimax’s BR-6478AC ($81), which also supports wireless-ac. N900 Asus’ RT-N66U ($130) is too expensive. Netgear’s WNDR4700 Centria ($74, diskless) is bulky and a bit of an overkill for those who just want a good router, not a router that can also run a 3.5-inch hard drive. We’d rather have the Edimax BR-6478AC’s wireless-ac capabilities for the price, not a storage bay. Netgear’s WNDR4500 ($160) is too expensive for a cheap router pick, as is the router’s “v2” version ($130).
