Are you considering upgrading your router? If so, the best option is the Wi-Fi 6 model, known as 802.11ax. This is the latest generation of wireless, and even if you can't take full advantage of its features, be prepared for when you can. The question is, which model should you buy?" There are several good ones, among them Netgear's high-end Nighthawk AX6, which is on sale right now on Amazon for $239.99.

This is $60 less than the regular price. Equally important, you get a high-speed router with all the bells and whistles of Wi-Fi 6.

In short, it handles wireless traffic and packets better, an important factor considering that Wi-Fi 6 is specifically designed to handle multiple devices simultaneously, and virtually every gadget is an Internet-connected device these days.

The caveat is that Wi-Fi 6 routers work best with devices that have Wi-Fi 6 adapters. There are probably not many that do. However, Wi-Fi 6 is becoming more common, and even Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) or earlier devices can handle it as well as Wi-Fi 5 routers.

This is a dual-band router, which delivers speeds of up to 4,800 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and 600 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band. It also features four LAN ports for wired connections, a USB 3.0 port for connecting a shared printer or storage drive, and four high-powered external antennas.

Netgear manufactures several routers that are ideal for gaming. If this product is out of your price range, the Nighthawk AX4 is also worth considering. It is not on sale, but at $129.99 on Amazon, it is relatively affordable for a Wi-Fi 6 model.
