Best WiFi routers in the UK

For those who insist on the best, this unit delivers. While its monstrous size and hefty price tag might be off-putting for some, it more than makes up for it in terms of performance. This router features a tri-band design and offers both hardware- and software-based gaming acceleration and prioritisation. There are also plenty of LAN ports, and integrated protection against malware and viruses, which is perfect for both serious gamers and homes with high-traffic networks. 
It’s big, but the design is kind of pretty. While the eight antennas might give an alien-like appearance to this router, they offer plenty of coverage customisation, and can be removed if desired. The LED indicator lights on the front edge let you easily check on the router’s power, 2.4GHz activity, 5GHz activity, WAN and LAN connectivity, and WPS activity. 
Thanks to its 1024QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) technology, this router achieves maximum speeds of up to 1,000Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and up to 2,167Mbps on each of the 5GHz bands. In addition, it supports all of the latest 802.11ac technologies, including multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) simultaneous data streaming and beamforming. There’s also native support for the Gamer’s Private Network (GPN), as well as a VPN Fusion feature which allows the use of a VPN connection alongside an ordinary internet connection.
