The 10 factors measured in the 2021 report include (in order of importance): Wi-Fi range; reliability; speed of upload/download; restore connection easily; security capabilities; price; ease of set-up; variety of features; intuitive user interface; and customer service.

“The year 2020 was a rough one for router manufacturers as many more people were working from home and noticing the limits of their Wi-Fi router,” said Ian Greenblatt, managing director at J.D. Power. “This led to a decrease in overall satisfaction. Customers are now settling in and appreciating their wireless connections. The study results also show an increase in customer service satisfaction, meaning that customer service representatives are doing a solid job at resolving customer issues.”

Study Ranking

Asus (859) ranks highest in customer satisfaction with wireless routers. TP-Link (855) ranks second and ARRIS (853) ranks third.

The 2021 Wireless Router Satisfaction Report, now in its sixth year, is based on responses from 1,256 current owners of wireless routers who purchased their device during the 12-month period prior to report fielding in September-October 2021.
