Speed

Where we checked it: uk.anker.com ›

Why we picked it

A wired connection lets you turn off Wi-Fi on the device you use most at a desk. It is a practical upgrade in its own right: wired links are usually faster and more stable for video calls.

Best for

Plugging a laptop or tablet into the router by cable, so you can switch its Wi-Fi off and often get a faster, steadier connection

Not for

Devices without a USB-C port, or rooms nowhere near the router

The details that matter.

  • • Gigabit (1000Mbps) Ethernet over USB-C
  • • Plug and play on most laptops
  • • Compact aluminium body
  • • £16.99 from Anker UK
