Plan your home network

Most Wi-Fi problems aren't solved by a faster router. Tell us about your home and we'll lay out complete setups (one router, a mesh system, or wired access points) with the total cost, the slowest link, how hard each is to set up, and why.

Built on 143 routers and 86 access points, switches and MoCA adapters with manufacturer-checked specs. Rules are published on How we recommend. This is a starting plan, not a site survey.
