Wi-Fi 6 router fast speed long range 5G WiFi
No matter how you spin it, the closer you are to your router, the better your Wi-Fi will perform. Simply put, a Wi-Fi signal degrades the further away you are from its source. Unfortunately, it's not realistic to be sitting beside your router at all times, so in that case, you'll want one that has the best possible range. Most modern routers are at least dual-band, meaning they broadcast a 2.4GHz and a 5GHz signal (with newer Wi-Fi 6E and 7 routers also broadcasting on the 6GHz band). A 2.4GHz signal can travel farther than the 5GHz band but is much more prone to interference and noise, meaning it's orders of magnitude slower in practice.
We measured the range performance of over 35 of the most popular routers on the market by taking a speed test every 10 feet through multiple interior walls (on the 5GHz and 6GHz bands, if applicable). We found that, on average, mesh systems delivered more consistent speeds at those farther distances. That said, there are still very effective long-range standalone routers, so read on to learn more.
