The year 2016 presented interesting innovations featuring home electronics, making it essential for techies to upgrade their Wi-Fi to strengthen connections between devices. Fortunately, there are several wireless routers that can keep up with the new demanding systems. Here are five that we think will make a huge difference in 2017.
Eero
One of the pioneers for the redesigned wireless routers, Eero has stellar features that are ideal for a dynamic home network. The simple and stylish look is paired with a robust system that brings performance, as well. It allows for modular expansions, Alexa integration and remote controls through an app. The device starts at $200.
Google Wi-Fi
Another powerful contender for wireless routers is the Google Wi-Fi. Highly anticipated for its minimalist aesthetic, the Google Wi-Fi is a sleek and powerful unit that allows for 1,500 square feet of coverage. Installation is also easy, because an app may be used to assist users with controlling the device. It is ideal for families, bringing features that allow parents to monitor and control kids' access to the Wi-Fi network. A unit of the Google Wi-Fi starts at $130.
Roqos Core
For the more funky techies, the Roqos Core presents a playful line that adds color and a modern take on the traditional wireless router. Compared to other wireless routers, the Roqos Core presents a subscription plan that starts a $17 per month. The subscription presents users with updates to further improve the system. One of the core competencies of the Roqos Core is the enterprise level security, which prevents any malware from coming through.
Portal
A wireless router with a contemporary design is Portal. The device is well-received by techies as it utilizes a dynamic frequency selection, which is not common in Wi-Fi systems. The features presented in Portal are used mostly for military communication and exclusive radar systems. Because of this, Portal's connection does not compete with other networks, thus preventing slow speed. Portal starts at $200.
Plume Wi-Fi
This trendy wireless router is one of the easiest to use. The Plume Wi-Fi is a small device that conveniently plugs into electrical outlets. In addition, it only needs one Ethernet connection cord connected, which allows for a simple mesh set up. Several Plume pods can then be plugged into other rooms to create a strong home system. Although it is not as powerful as other wireless routers, such as the Eero or Google Wi-Fi, Plume Wi-Fi is the perhaps most affordable wireless router that delivers. One unit starts at $70.
