Match the router's capabilities to your home's square footage and your ISP's internet speed. For homes over 2500 sq ft or with multiple floors, mesh systems are far superior to single high-powered routers. Available from $49.
Routers have an extremely low cost of ownership, drawing minimal continuous power. There are no consumables, and hardware generally lasts until technological obsolescence requires an upgrade.
