Recommended Routers
When it comes to your connection, your router is one of the most important devices you can add to your home network. We know that routers are not cheap, however in order to meet the demand of your daily wifi needs, you may need to invest a little more money in a router that will cover your entire home with little dead spots.
Keep in mind that while any gigabit router is compatible, XMission recommends the following products based on feedback from our staff and customers. The products below are not required for service. You should choose a router that fits your budget.
- Please remember XMission cannot guarantee advertised speeds over a wireless connection. When available we recommend the use of Ethernet Cables.

Placement of your router
The placement of your router is very important. Your wireless signal will need to travel from your router to where you are in your home. Putting your router in a utility closet is probably not the best choice, if your utility closet is in your basement and you spend all day upstairs. You may want to reconsider a more central location for your router. Materials such as concrete, metal, brick and sheetrock - you know the stuff your walls are made from - can and will impact the strength of your wireless signal.
Router Issues
If you continue to have issues with your current router, it may be time to upgrade. If after talking with our support department and we have walked you through factory resetting your router and updating the firmware with no change to performance, then it may be time to get a new router. You can visit our Router and Wireless Troubleshooting guide to help you further.
