Buying routers at HodlChip

Choose a router by your internet connection, your home and your devices:

  • Connection type: most routers connect through their WAN port to the modem or fiber terminal from your provider. DSL modem routers have the modem built in, so check that they support your line before ordering.
  • Wi-Fi standard: Wi-Fi 7 adds 320 MHz channels on 6 GHz and Multi-Link Operation, for higher speeds and steadier latency with Wi-Fi 7 devices. Dual-band models skip the 6 GHz band.
  • Ports: a 2.5GbE or 10GbE WAN port is needed for internet plans above 1 Gb/s, and multi-gig LAN ports help with fast PCs and NAS units.
  • Mesh support: ASUS AiMesh and TP-Link EasyMesh let you add compatible units later to cover a larger home.

Look at the software as well: regular security updates, WPA3, guest networks, device isolation for smart-home gear, and a built-in VPN server or client. Gaming routers add traffic prioritization for consoles and PCs. Place the router centrally and in the open, not inside a cabinet. For more coverage, see the mesh systems and repeaters in Wi-Fi & Bluetooth adapters, and for more wired ports, see switches.

Questions about routers

Will Wi-Fi 7 make my internet faster?
Only up to the speed of your internet plan. Wi-Fi 7 mainly improves speed and latency between your devices and the router, especially for Wi-Fi 7 devices nearby, and helps when many devices are busy at once.
Do I need a multi-gig WAN port?
Yes, if your internet plan is faster than 1 Gb/s; otherwise a 1GbE port becomes the limit. A 2.5GbE or faster LAN port also helps if you connect a fast NAS or PC by cable.
Can I use my own router with my internet provider?
In most cases, yes: connect it to the provider's modem or fiber terminal, or set the provider's router to bridge mode. Some fiber, DSL and cable services need specific settings or a provider-supplied modem, so check with your provider.
