Where to buy a router: work remotely without interruption
A lot of folks are working from home during the coronavirus crisis, which means that their wireless networks might be under a bit more stress than is typical – so you might need to pick up a more robust wireless router.
You see, a lot of ISPs may include a modem with a built-in router, but wireless performance generally suffers in these kinds of devices. If you’re after a super reliable wireless network when working from home, picking up a dedicated wireless router can save yourself (and anyone else doing remote work in your home) a lot of frustration.
However, because there are so many people scouring the web for work from home supplies, a lot of the best routers are selling out extremely quickly, making it hard to find one that will arrive in a timely fashion.
Luckily, we here at TechRadar are online shopping pros, and we went ahead and found all the routers that are still available so you can spend less time shopping and more time working.
