SmallNetBuilder Rankers help find the best performing wired and wireless routers in a flash. It crunches through our deep product performance databases and sorts products by comparative performance so you can easily see which products perform the best without having to click through pages of charts.
Rankings are based on product performance only. Product features, support and reliability are not taken into account in the rankings.
Routers are ranked by Type and Test Method. So not all products are shown in the default view. Use the Type and Test Method selectors to see other products . (Product types are explained here).
The default view is Total router performance ranking sorted by Total Rank. Rank values are relative with lower = better.
Use the Rank selector to view the sub-rankings that make up the total rank. Use the [Switch To Sort By PRICE] link to sort the view by price.
