Best for: Hyper-connected families The eight high- gain antennas spiking up from the Archer's chassis pump out a blast of Wi-Fi strong enough to flood a McMansion. And TP-Link's router supports the just released Wi-Fi 6 wireless standard, which can serve bandwidth to more devices without clogging the tubes--increasingly important in our stream-happy world. Security is built in, with TP-Link and Trend Micro's HomeCare service preinstalled (free for three years, price thereafter TBD). It provides protection against malicious websites and phishing emails, as well as a neat system that quarantines any device on your network that may be compromised. Families will applaud the parental controls, which group together each person's devices for easier management. So if you want to block Jimmy's YouTube access after 10 pm, with one tap you can institute that limit on his tablet, PC, and Roku. Sorry, Jimmy.
