The major internet providers all offer excellent routers for free. Pay more and you may even be able to get dedicated extenders, which form a so-called ‘mesh network’, giving you speedy access throughout the home. Sky’s excellent Broadband Hub has eight antennas and can connect up to 64 devices at once. BT’s Smart Hub 2 serves up similar tech and can be boosted with dedicated extenders if you opt for its Complete Wi-Fi package. The Virgin Media Hub 5 has fewer antennas than Sky or BT’s routers but is still an excellent bet. Those who can get TalkTalk’s Full Fibre deals can take advantage of the excellent Amazon eero 6 router. These days, there’s no real reason to shell out extra for a different router, whichever provider you go with. Setup is also much easier if you stick with the router from your broadband provider.
