The TP-Link Archer A7 is the best Wi-Fi router for those on a budget. It offers superior performance at a reasonable price.
The TP-Link Archer A7 is an older router, but it still receives valuable firmware updates and performs better at close range than some newer, more expensive models. In a small home or apartment with few devices online, it’s a solid option, and it’s the cheapest one we recommend.
