What Routers do you Recommend?

You connect to our service via the ethernet port inside your residence.  You may either plug your computer in directly or use any standard WiFi router to create a wireless network and connect multiple devices at your location.

Please note:

• A wired connection will perform better than any wireless connection.  Strongly consider running a wire (or having us run a wire) to connect any critical, stationary devices in your home (this is most important for desktop computers and other devices used for gaming).

• The quality of your wi-fi router will have a very large impact on your network performance; get the best router you can afford!  A router rating of AC1900 should be considered a minimum, and we strongly recommend you get a TRI BAND router, that has 2.4ghz, 5ghz, and 6ghz transmitters.

• Do not purchase a modem or modem/router combo device! Our service does not work with modems, so a modem or modem/router combo will not work with our service.

• If your home is larger than about 1,000 sq ft or has multiple floors, we recommend looking into mesh router options.  A single router will cover 1-3 rooms at top speed; no matter how expensive your router it will not cover more space and maintain good performance!

• You get what you pay for in the world of wireless routers and mesh systems, so set your expectations accordingly

We do not specifically endorse any brand or models and we can help you with the setup of any router.

That said, we have found that the Google Nest WiFi Pro is one of the best deals available.  It works standalone or as part of a mesh, is Tri-Band, and is capable of very fast speeds, all for an affordable price.  Volo typically stocks these routers at a discounted price of just $125 each.  We can even bring them to you and set them up for you (though there is a fee for that service)!
