We know how confusing routers and WiFi can be, so we’re here to simplify things.

If you're all about gaming, you might want to choose from Singtel’s 1Gbps Pro Gamer and 1+1Gbps Gamer Bundle, which include the ASUS RT-AX86U WiFi 6 router.

Available with our 10Gbps Enhanced (WiFi 7) plan, the TP-Link BE22000 WiFi 7 router is pretty impressive. 

This router covers approximately the size of a 4-room flat and can handle up to 200 devices.
