WI-FI ROUTERS

Are you puzzled why you should buy a router separately? Well, this section will have all your doubts clear. When you subscribe to any of Spectrum internet plans, you get a free modem. But when you buy Spectrum home Wi-Fi you need a router separately to connect it to your modem to form a home Wi-Fi network. There are more pros than cons in investing in Charter approved routers because they:

  • Use high-powered radios to boost signal strength and provide a better range.
  • Have the dual-band concurrent operation so the users can savor the 5.0GHz frequency band.
  • They also simultaneously operate a network on the 2.4GHz band so older devices can work as well.

You can also rent out a Spectrum router for a nominal fee. However, you can save a $5 rental charge on your monthly Charter bill by getting your equipment.
Here is a list of some of the best routers recommended by Spectrum.
