Asus Dominates 2026 Readers’ Choice for Home Networking and NAS
PCMag’s 2026 Readers’ Choice survey crowns Asus as the top router brand and mesh system, with strong performance in Wi‑Fi 7 gear; Verizon leads among ISP-provided routers, and Netgear tops modem brands. In NAS, QNAP edges out Synology for overall satisfaction, though Synology remains strong in ease of use and RAID. The results suggest upgrading to modern routers/mesh systems or a NAS-based setup can significantly improve speed, coverage, and data storage for home networks.
