Frequently asked questions
What is the median price of a new Wi-Fi router today?
In the 06/11/2026 catalog, the median price is $163, across 165 new Wi-Fi routers from trusted sellers. Half cost less than that and half cost more.
How much does each score point cost?
Today’s collection doesn’t have enough Wi-Fi routers with a score to calculate this.
Why the median and not the average?
Because a few very expensive Wi-Fi routers pull the average up and hide the price most people pay. The median shows the Wi-Fi router in the middle.
How often does the overview change?
Every day, with each new collection. Each collection saves a snapshot of the price and score of each Wi-Fi router, and the "What changed" section compares today’s with the previous one and, when available, with the one from about a week earlier.

The overview describes the Radar catalog, not the whole Wi-Fi routers market, and the price is the one collected on the date shown.
