Netwerk & WiFi
Networking equipment — routers, mesh systems, switches, access points, and cables — determines how stable your home internet works. With more and more devices connected (from smartphones and laptops to smart lights and TVs), a good router is more important than ever. Many providers supply a router, but your own router usually gives better coverage, speed, and privacy control.
The four criteria for a new router: WiFi standard (WiFi 6 is the new baseline, WiFi 7 for 2026+ devices), area and wall count (a single router up to ~80 m², mesh for larger), number of devices (a good router should handle 30-50 connections), and wired backbone (gigabit LAN for server, NAS, fixed PCs). For those moving lots of files around the house, a 2.5 GbE port is valuable.
Productvraag compares routers, mesh systems, and switches from TP-Link, Asus, Netgear, Ubiquiti, Eero, Google Nest, and Fritz!Box at Dutch retailers. Especially mesh bundles (3-pack) vary €30-80 in price, and bundle offers typically give 10-15% discount versus buying separately.

Frequently asked questions about Netwerk & WiFi
Do I need my own router alongside the one from my provider?
Not strictly — provider routers (KPN, Ziggo, Odido) have improved over the years. But for larger homes, gamers with low-latency demands, or those wanting VPN/parental controls/server features, your own router (€100-300) delivers noticeably better performance. Provider router in bridge mode is the right setup.
Single router or mesh — what suits me?
Up to 80-100 m² without thick walls, one good router suffices. With multiple floors, thick walls, or a large home, mesh (3 nodes) makes more sense. Mesh costs more (€350-700) but eliminates dead zones without manually switching devices between networks.
What's the difference between WiFi 5, 6, 6E, and 7?
WiFi 5 (2014): up to 1.3 Gbps, older but still workable. WiFi 6 (2019): up to 9.6 Gbps, better density and device battery life. WiFi 6E (2021): adds the 6 GHz band, less crowded. WiFi 7 (2024): up to 30 Gbps in theory, real steps for 8K streaming and VR. For 2026, WiFi 6 is fine, WiFi 7 is more future-proof.
Which router brands are reliable?
AVM Fritz!Box is known for long-term updates and stability (German engineering). Asus and TP-Link Archer give lots of features per euro. Ubiquiti is for advanced users (UniFi). Eero and Google Nest are premium mesh with simple apps. Netgear Orbi and Asus ZenWiFi are popular mesh choices.
What's the average price for a good router?
Basic WiFi 6: €70-130. Mid-range with good coverage: €130-250. Premium gaming routers: €250-450. Mesh 3-pack entry-level: €250-400. Premium mesh (Eero Pro 6E, Asus ZenWiFi XT12): €500-900. WiFi 7 models sit €150-300 above WiFi 6 with comparable features.
