Best Wi-Fi routers under ₹1,000 in India in 2023

A dual-band router offers more flexibility as you can utilize both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands for wireless connectivity. It should provide faster speeds than a single-band router. The routers can offer good support while streaming or gaming. <br /><br />To help you buy a budget dual-band router, here are the best options under ₹2,000 available on Amazon.<br /><br /><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="How we do our research" comment="subhead" text="How we do our research"><span data-til="noop">How we do our research</span></cmsannotation><br /><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Our ranking criteria" comment="subhead" text="Our ranking criteria"><span data-til="noop">Our ranking criteria</span></cmsannotation><br />We consider each Wi-Fi router's features, including maximum speed, number of ports for connectivity and number of antennas.<br /><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Things to consider before buying Wi-Fi routers" comment="subhead" text="Things to consider before buying Wi-Fi routers"><span data-til="noop">Things to consider before buying Wi-Fi routers</span></cmsannotation><br />There are various factors like network coverage, speeds, and compatibility with your internet service provider to consider.

Here, I don't lock up my bike or my front door, I can walk everywhere, and my recent major home renovation cost me only $3,000. </p><h2>Current guidance around traveling to Pakistan </h2><p>The US travel advice for Pakistan is to avoid traveling to Balochistan province, many parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and the Indian-Pakistan border because of the potential for terrorist attacks, kidnapping, and armed conflict at the border.</p><p>The US government warns that the assistance it can provide citizens traveling in Pakistan is limited because of these security issues.

From 2014 to 2019, I was a student at the University of Miami in Florida. While I loved my school, being by the beach, and Florida's eternal summer, I never felt settled in Miami. </p><div type="image" title="Samantha Shea, young woman stood in front of the Miami beach shoreline." height="2688" width="3583" msid="100102323" hostid="261"></div><p>Because I grew up in suburban Connecticut, the move to a busy city was a big adjustment. It was noisy and fast-paced, and the proximity to crime, common in urban areas, put me on edge. </p><p>I had never traveled outside the US growing up, but I fell in love with backpacking at college. My trips became more and more offbeat. I was traveling through India the summer before my senior year in 2018 when I decided to pursue a career in travel. </p><h2><strong>I wanted to become a freelance travel blogger after graduation</strong></h2><h2><strong><div type="image" title="Samantha Shea graduating from the university of Miami sat on the college's sign." height="2179" width="2906" msid="100102325" hostid="261"></div></strong></h2><p>I worked three part-time jobs while finishing my degree to save up for my indefinite adventure.</p><p>After graduating in 2019, I set off for India again, traveling around the country and into neighboring Pakistan. </p><p>Despite media negativity and concerns from family and friends, I didn't feel nervous crossing the border from India. I traveled from the historical city of Lahore to the Hindu Kush mountains of Upper Chitral — a region that directly borders Afghanistan — and felt comfortable everywhere I went. </p><div type="image" title="Samantha Shea in Swat Valley Pakistan" height="2316" width="3088" msid="100102329" hostid="261"></div><p>I found it easier and more fun to travel here than in India, a much more "mainstream" backpacking destination. I encountered fewer scammers traveling in Pakistan. I also found Pakistan had less trash on the streets, and the roads were in better condition.</p><h2><strong>I worked for DoorDash and learned Urdu while waiting out COVID-19 limitations</strong></h2><p>In December 2019, I returned to my family home with the plan to move to Pakistan full time in the spring as a digital nomad.</p><p>My plans were halted by COVID-19. I spent the next year learning Urdu, the national language of Pakistan, and delivering for DoorDash. I also finally saw some freelance traction. </p><p>I got my first paid byline, increased my blog traffic, and freelanced in content writing and social-media management. I wanted to have established myself as a digital nomad before I left home.</p><p>In April 2021, I traveled alone to Pakistan's capital, Islamabad. I hadn't arranged a guide and had no plan beyond my first few nights at a hostel. To many, my trip seemed insane, but I was committed. </p><h2><div type="image" title="The vistas on a multi-day hike to the Shimshal Pass, not far from the Chinese border." height="2614" width="3486" msid="100102331" hostid="261"></div></h2><h2><strong>Why Hunza Valley? </strong></h2><p>My 2021 journey brought me to Hunza Valley for a reason. I'd head it was well known as the safest destination for <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Life-Arts/Life/Hunza-Valley-women-challenge-Pakistani-patriarchy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">solo female travelers</a>, largely due to its <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/high-up-on-a-pakistani-mountain-a-success-story-for-moderate-islam/2015/07/22/f0b878d2-2572-11e5-b77f-eb13a215f593_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">liberal culture toward women</a>.</p><div type="image" title="Woman walking Hunza Valley" height="4854" width="6472" msid="100102550" hostid="261"></div><p>Hunza Valley is a remote area in Northern Pakistan. The Gatorade-blue rivers and snow-capped mountains make Hunza a popular tourist destination. The local community is known for its hospitality, and I immediately felt at home – something I'd never felt in big-city America.</p><p>The community is welcoming of outsiders — respecting and taking care of guests is a core value here. Before 9/11, there were droves of foreign travelers coming to Hunza, and many locals and their families worked in tourism, so I was welcomed readily. </p><div type="image" title="The Karakoram highway that cuts through Hunza" height="3648" width="4864" msid="100102551" hostid="261"></div><p>Hunza is home to a <a href="https://www.thejuggernaut.com/ismaili-muslims-pakistan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">majority Ismaili community</a>, a liberal sect of Islam. Teens hang out in mixed groups, women own restaurants and shops, and it's common for girls to receive higher education.</p><p>I settled in Hunza and have lived here for nearly two years.</p><h2><strong>Many Westerners I've spoken with have trepidations about Pakistan</strong></h2><h2><strong><div type="image" title="Shea sits with locals in a small seaside village on the border of Sindh and Balochistan in the far south of Pakistan." height="3448" width="4597" msid="100102553" hostid="261"></div></strong></h2><p>Hunza itself could not be safer. I don't worry about locking my bike, or even my doors. I've never witnessed a crime of any kind, nor any of the terrorist incidents the US State Department warns travelers of.</p><p>Barely a day after I'd arrived, I found myself lost on a 5-mile trek I set out on alone. Wandering, I ran into a young male shepherd. He insisted on showing me the route back and carrying my bag.</p><p>I kept waiting for "that moment" for which all solo female travelers are on high alert — but it never came. The shepherd was polite and helped me safely find the trail.</p><div type="image" title="Hunza valley in Northern Pakistan" height="1066" width="1422" msid="100102555" hostid="261"></div><p>I think I felt more comfortable in Hunza than I did in Miami for several reasons: The local cuisine shared many similarities with my Polish grandma's recipes, I experienced daily peace, and being surrounded by 20,000-foot peaks made me feel like I positively was on another planet.</p><div type="image" title="Traditional spread of Hunza foods." height="1405" width="1874" msid="100102558" hostid="261"></div><p>I didn't have great WiFi for the first few months of living in Hunza, which was stressful at times. I've since found work-arounds, but it's not simple. </p><h2><strong>The biggest issue is that electricity comes on for </strong><strong>only </strong><strong>around 5 or 6 hours a day, primarily at night</strong></h2><p>I knew Northern Pakistan didn't have great electricity from my 2019 trip to other mountain valleys. Regardless, I always travel with a power bank.</p><p>I remember times when the electricity wouldn't come on as planned and I'd forgotten to charge my devices properly. I found it incredibly stressful, especially if I had a lot of work.</p><div type="image" title="Cycling in the Hunza Valley" height="1410" width="1884" msid="100102560" hostid="261"></div><p>Once, while on a road trip through Upper Chitral, another mountainous region in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, my power bank fell in water and wouldn't turn on.</p><p>I was in an area even more remote than Hunza and knew the power bank likely wasn't sold anywhere in Pakistan. The bank amazingly came back to life, but I did end up breaking another one a year later.</p><p>When these things happen, it makes me miss conveniences like Amazon, but a company called Daraz does manage to deliver plenty of items to Hunza within two or three days. </p><p>Power banks and other electronics can also be sourced from other countries via Packr, an app I've used several times to receive items from the US.</p><p>Now I have a permanent home, I've arranged more long-term solutions. </p><p>I bought a $35 UPS car battery at a local market, which keeps my WiFi router and basic lights working 24/7. I also have two 26,800-mAh Anker power banks as backups, the 2nd of which I purchased after that road-trip scare.</p><h2><div type="image" title="Car battery for back up electricity." height="5304" width="7072" msid="100102562" hostid="261"></div></h2><h2><strong>How I live and work in Hunza Valley</strong></h2><p>One month of accommodation costs between $150 and $250 on average — a far cry from the $1,300 I paid in Miami to share an apartment with roommates.</p><p>My life in Hunza began in Gojal, the local name for the northern portion of the region. When I arrived, I stayed in hotels.

But, as the weeks passed, I moved my desk to the other side of the room to face out the window to take in nature, and occasionally, I'll see a hummingbird quickly dashing around the yard.  </p><div type="image" title="Amie Keener" height="508" width="508" msid="77854061" hostid="261"></div><p>If you're looking — or needing — to improve your home office with some new furniture and accessories, it may be quick, easy, and inexpensive to order something online. Yes, there are many great resources out there. But a word of caution: look out for the following common pitfalls.    </p><h2><strong>Cost</strong></h2><p>Do you have a budget? Establish one up front. Include items like desks, chair, task light, ergonomic tools. Likely items are bookcase, file cabinet, and maybe rug or flooring material. Also consider accessories such as artwork and plants as they can enhance overall well-being in the space.   </p><h2><strong>Size </strong></h2><p>Grab a tape measure and test out what new furniture will look like in the space.  Consider taping it out on the floor with masking tape or cutting out newspaper or a cardboard box the size you are considering.  </p><h2><strong>Ergonomic factors</strong></h2><p>We are all spending more time in our home offices. Comfort is important, and good ergonomic solutions are even more essential. Do you need a desk and task chair? Or would you benefit from soft seating, like a lounge chair or sofa for some of your work?</p><p>Do you like to stand up and work? Maybe a bar height table and stools make more sense for you. </p><h2><strong>Location</strong> </h2><p>Does your home office space have enough light? Will you be on video calls? Natural light can always improve how we look over video. Seek out light sources from a variety of angles. Avoid all down lighting. You want to make sure to provide the best representation of yourself on video.</p><p>Consider the animals in your home: Do they find your workspace cozy too? I'm allergic to cats, but I get a kick out of seeing my co-worker's furry friends jump into the view of the camera. Having an animal join our calls has been a nice treat on occasion.</p><p>Take intp account the noise near your home office workspace; if you are on a morning conference call, will the sound of your toddler in the background alarm your coworkers?</p><p>Consider the temperature of your office space: Is it hot, will you need to add a fan or something to circulate the air? Will the noise of the fan get picked up on conference calls and sound like a jet?  </p><h2><strong>Connectivity</strong></h2><p>Do you need power/data cords? I miss my motorized sit-to-stand desk at the office. Consider cord lengths and distance from wall outlets. Will you need to connect to printer, screen, speakers, camera, etc.? You don't want to create deathly tripping hazards or risks of overloading electrical outlets/circuits.</p><p>I found my internet speed improved by connecting an ethernet cable directly into the router. If you can place your workspace as close to the router you may minimize future technology headaches.   </p><h2><strong>Product</strong></h2><p>Where is the product coming from? What is involved with shipping and handling? Most <keyword id="2191904" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="office-furniture">office furniture</keyword> today is blended with parts from around the globe. Does the company have customer support here in the US? </p><h2><strong>Freight</strong> </h2><p>Is the product insured as it goes from the factory to your home? What if there's freight damage? It's rare, but something to consider, with unknown shipping sources.</p><p>Stick to a reliable company that provides insurance, like the US Postal Service, UPS, FedEx, etc. How much time will it take you to chase down the right part?  </p><h2><strong>Assembly</strong></h2><p>Does it require you putting it together? Do you have the right skill set, tools and patience to assemble the new furniture?  If not, it's critical to find someone who can help in an affordable and efficient manner.</p><h2><strong>Warranty</strong></h2><p>What happens if your new furniture is all set up and a few weeks pass, and something breaks? Read the fine print; what is the warranty on the product you are purchasing?   </p><h2><strong>Care and maintenance</strong></h2><p>You want your furniture to last and be germ free as much as possible. Wood is always a nice feature for desks, but are you willing to take care and responsibility for it?</p><p>Are you like me, who often eats lunch at my desk? Maybe plastic laminate or metal surfaces are more logical for your space.   </p><p>I suspect we will be working from home in some form or fashion in the coming months, so it's important to have a well thought out home office furniture solution. We love our families and roommates, but it's beneficial to have a quiet place to break away in your home.</p><p>Also, you may find yourself using your home office workspace for other uses (paying bills, making out grocery lists, meal planning, writing letters, etc.). Flexible and adaptable solutions are valuable in more ways in one.</p><p><strong><em>Amie T.

<p><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/mobile-world-congress-2015"></div><p></p></div></div>HTC's recently appointed chief marketing officer Idris Mootee isn't your typical CMO.</p><p>He officially joined HTC last month, not from another big consumer brand but from Toronto-based designed agency, Idea Couture. He wears cool orange-framed spectacles. If you ask where Mootee is currently living, he'll refer you to the movie "The Terminal" and pull out his array of different driving licenses and passports that symbolize his globetrotting lifestyle. <a href="http://www.mootee.typepad.com/">He has a blog</a>. And sitting down with Business Insider at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week, Mootee also admitted: "I'm not an easy guy to work with." His PR rep quickly jumps in: "That's not true!"</p><p>But bringing on board the kind of person that is willing to shake things up is exactly what HTC needs right now. Its market share has slumped since its heyday of the popular Desire smartphone back in 2011. And beyond the realm of the smartphone, the company is making a huge, brave bet on virtual reality with its partnership with gaming company Valve to create the Vive headset.</p><p>Mootee believes he has the strategy and the company has the right set-up in place to move the HTC brand away from its long-running "Quietly Brilliant" strapline to becoming truly "brilliant." And he thinks it's been hidden inside the company all along.</p><h3>Mootee the rebel and Robert Downey Jr.</h3><p>An example of Mootee's rebellious nature is the story behind the creation of the TV ad for the new HTC One M9, which was unveiled at MWC on Sunday.</p><p>Mootee, HTC's multi-million dollar brand ambassador Robert Downey Jr., and the Hollywood actor's wife Susan Downey Jr. <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/robert-downey-jr-wrote-the-htc-one-m9-tv-ad-script-2015-3">all worked together on the script themselves</a>, sending it back and forth between them. But when it came to the visuals, Mootee decided RDJ (as the company calls him internally) wouldn't feature, but would instead narrate the ad.</p><p>Mootee told us: "You know people in the company are not going to like it because they will say we just paid a lot of money for the world's most famous, most expensive, highest earning star, and I say I don't want to show your face. That's the campaign."</p><p>Instead, Downey Jr. acts as the brand's "storyteller" and the ad serves as the metaphor not just for the device, but also where Mootee wants to take the HTC brand.</p><h3>Here's the TV ad, which was unveiled at the HTC One M9 launch event in Barcelona on Sunday. The ad starts at around 0:05.</h3><p></p><p>Mootee, who has actually been acting as a brand consultant to HTC for some time but was convinced to step away from his other projects by HTC chairwoman Cher Wang to go full-time at the company ("She has some very special power," Mootee said), thinks HTC needs to move on from its marketing of the past.</p><p><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/htc-robert-downey-jr-ad-2013-8">Remember the first, odd Robert Downey Jr. $1 billion campaign</a> that played around with the HTC acronym? "Hipster Troll Carwash," "Humongous Tinfoil Catamaran," "Here's To Change." That kind of thing isn't going to happen again.</p><p>"I think in the past we announced the model, finding expensive celebrities, spending a lot of money...people liked us because we were loud and funny, but that won't work [now,] that was the 1980s...I asked who we are. If we don't ask that question, then what do we sell on? The best product is not enough," Mootee said.</p><p>"What we used to tell people was that we were 'Quietly Brilliant.' That was a long time ago, that was before probably your time and before my time too - I was very young then - I think that kind of reflected our aspirations, but the word 'quietly' doesn't really create. You don't want to be too quiet," he added.</p><p>But HTC does want to be brilliant. And in a period of soul searching about what the brand stands for, Mootee may be taking a little bit of inspiration from Apple on HTC's quest to achieve greatness again.</p><h4>Here's that 2013 "Here's To Change" ad</h4><p></p><h3>Apple wants to make a dent in the universe. HTC wants to power human connectiveness</h3><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_left"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div>Mootee said HTC is never likely to outspend the likes of Apple in terms of marketing budget, but it thinks it can stand out with its raison d'être.</p><p>He explained: "There's a great company that creates great computers and, maybe, depending on who you ask, its a trillion dollar company. Those people walk into Cupertino for a reason: Because they want to make a dent in the universe [<a href="http://www.changemakrs.com/Aurora/we-are-here-to-make-a-dent-in-the-universe-3">, a famous Steve Jobs quote</a>.] They were very successful to bring the imagination of people into the company. That's very important for us as a brand too."</p><p>HTC was founded in the 1990s and started out by manufacturing notebook computers and some of the first touch handheld devices. It also made the world's first Android smartphone as well as the first Microsoft-powered smartphone. That's why, at its core, Mootee believes HTC stands for "powering human connectiveness."</p><p>"It's not about routers and phones, it's about the emotion of getting people breaking down barriers and getting people closer together," he added.</p><p>That idea is reflected in the campaign but also upcoming digital activity involving RDJ, which is due to be launched at SXSW next month.</p><h3>"The company used to fly with one engine...now the plane is flying with three engines."</h3><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div>The TV ad already out is quite Apple-like and as you're compelled to listen as you watch the slick visuals depicting people all over the world connecting emotionally. But that doesn't hide from the huge uphill challenge HTC faces.</p><p>HTC's market share is currently tiny as the chart to the left demonstrates. And while its new One M9 smartphone is stunning, it looks very similar to its predecessor the M8 (just with some iterative upgrades), and its dominant Android-running rival <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/samsung-galaxy-s-6-and-galaxy-s-6-edge-2015-3">Samsung also launched two beautifully designed high-end handsets</a> at Mobile World Congress that are likely to tempt many consumers away from HTC once again.</p><p><a href="http://www.mobilenewscwp.co.uk/2015/03/05/htc-faces-survival-battle-if-one-m9-device-is-a-flop/">Much of the analysis following the M9 launch suggested HTC will need to double down on marketing</a> in order to build up brand equity. But it can't outspend Samsung and Apple, so perhaps it should do more with to try to spread word of mouth and concentrate on delighting its current customers to help do the job of marketing for them. <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/xiaomi-vp-hugo-barra-at-mobile-world-congress-2015-2015-3">Take Xiaomi: It spends "pretty much nothing" on advertising</a>, but its cheap products and fanatical fanbase has helped it grow to become the world's most valuable startup in the world with a $45 billion valuation.</p><p>Mootee dismisses the comparison with Xiaomi: "I think Xiaomi is kind of a story that's overblown. Most people don't really know about the company. Most people heard about it from their friends, read it in a newspaper, it's second-hand, third-hand, a fifth-hand story about Xiaomi. It's a very different business that's not designed to scale. and it's full with a lot of hype. So far there's only really the China model, I don't think they're exportable, so why are we comparing with a company that's stuck with where they sell it to one that sells in countries all over the world?"</p><p>Take the Xiaomi comparison out of it, though, and Mootee thinks it's fair to say that HTC needs to work harder to curate more of a community with its core fanbase. And we're told there will be more to come on that front very soon.</p><p>But while there are always improvements to be made, Mootee thinks HTC is finally, after some difficult years, set up for success again: "The company used to fly with one engine and a plane flying with one engine is kind of dangerous. Now the plane is flying with three engines. So we have the phone, we have VR, and we have all the wearables we keep coming up with. And there's more of those to come. So the plane is taking off again this time with three engines, a very committed pilot, and a very strong crew. And hopefully the customers on the plane will be very happy."</p><h3>The big VR bet<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_left"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div></h3><p>Arguably the biggest marketing move HTC has made since Mootee arrived wasn't actually engineered by Mootee himself.</p><p>By partnering with Valve and entering the new area of virtual reality, HTC goes head-to-head with Oculus in working to make VR mainstream. <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/htc-vive-tryout-2015-3">The reviews so far from tech enthusiasts are broadly positive</a>. There are already 100 million people on Valve's network, and lots of demand for the product from gamers, which is why Mootee thinks VR "doesn't even need a lot of push."</p><p>Mootee said: "How many people said 'I don't need a smartphone,' 'who wants an iPad?'...the advance of any innovative product requires learning behavior and that requires macroeconomic conditions, a push from how to educate, behavior and knowledge of risk and reward, it's a very complex science to see what the drivers are."</p><p>He continued: "I think virtual reality is probably the biggest thing in the next 10 years. At least five years because there's so many problems the minute you open one up there's another to solve. So that technology race will not end in two years, to five years. It will continue on for at least 10 years until there becomes something so cohesive, because the benefit is so great that people basically say I will take some compromise, just like the first brick phone. I think this is one of the most important steps that the company took. And that step at some point will converge with the phone, because this is the power and this miniaturization of computing power will not stop also."</p><p>In a technology race it's good to have a headstart, and someone like Mootee willing to challenge the status quo in order to cross that finish line first.</p>
