In order to keep us connected all day long, we rely on an essential yet inconspicuous product, the Wi-Fi router. With the changes and uncertainty the global pandemic has brought into our lives we have been forced to carry out most of our activities online and fully depend on our internet connection. 

This abrupt change and dependency led to an increase in the average of internet-connected devices within our homes, meaning that nearly two-thirds of the global population possess a Wi-Fi router in their home.

In an already hyperconnected world, the internet has become a necessity for people, a necessity that not only affects our social development but also the progress across the globe. 

Wi-Fi Routers connect your devices to the Internet and create a local network that allows your laptop and phone to transfer data to each other.

According to Linksys, households around the world have more than 10.5 billion devices capable of connecting to their home Wi-Fi, so if these routers are so essential in our homes, why does it seem that their aesthetics do not match their importance?

We all seem to do our very best to keep our routers unseen, but did you know that the more you hide your router the more you are decreasing your Wi-fi reception? Such a dilemma can only be solved with creativity, and once again, designers come to your rescue!

In this clear battle between form and function, we have compiled the incredible solutions for Wi-Fi router design from companies like Google, Amplifi, and Huawei that not only create a beautiful balance between aesthetics and functionality but also are finally making the internet look physically good.

Among the beautiful designs you can actually purchase, you’ll find a list of design concepts by a few who have taken on the challenge of creating routers meant to be placed out in the open.

With such a plethora of options, which one will you choose?
