A business router is part of the foundation of your network. The right choice depends on the size of the premises, number of users, internet connection, security requirements and whether the network needs to grow.
Match the router to your connection and users
Check WAN compatibility, expected throughput and the number of concurrent devices. Consider whether the router can handle peak usage rather than relying only on advertised maximum speeds.
Look at security and management
Prioritise supported firmware updates, firewall controls, VPN options where needed, secure administration and useful monitoring. Make sure someone is responsible for configuration and updates.
Plan for future expansion
A router alone may not provide adequate Wi-Fi coverage across a larger office. Consider a coordinated setup with managed switches and multiple access points where appropriate.
