Router Recommendations

If you're looking for a router that will work with our internet services, we've got you covered. We use simple Ethernet routers, and, in most cases, you won't even need a modem. However, in rare cases where a modem is needed, we'll provide one for you upon request.

All the routers on our list are capable of Gigabit speeds, use either 802.11AC or 802.11AX Wi-Fi technology, and offer dual-band networks. Just make sure to check the specs before you choose one. This list is not exhaustive, but it's meant to help you find the right router for your needs.

Please note that if you decide to buy your own router, Atlas Networks won't be responsible for installing, configuring, or maintaining it. However, if you'd like, you can lease a select router (subject to availability) from us, and it'll come with remote support from Atlas Networks for the duration of the lease. The monthly rate ($4 to $9) will depend on the type of router you choose. We'd be happy to let you know the availability and rate if you're interested.

Here's a little more about the different Wi-Fi technologies:

 

  • 802.11AC (Wi-Fi 5) technology is newer and offers faster speeds than 802.11N routers.
  • 802.11AX (Wi-Fi 6) is the newest Wi-Fi standard and provides better connection to client devices with its advanced technology. It will support a higher number of devices over Wi-Fi than 802.11AC.

 

Both types of routers offer dual-band networks, meaning they emit 2 networks of different frequencies (2.4 & 5GHz). Devices that can connect to the 5GHz network will have a more stable connection than the 2.4GHz network.

Prices are off their Amazon product page.
