Xiaomi launched the Mi Router 4A Gigabit Edition in the recent Smarter Living event. This router is not only supposed to be affordable but also support download speeds of up to 1 Gbps and more. Almost in the same price range, you can look at the TP-Link AC1200 Archer A6 router, which can also support gigabit speeds. If both the routers are essentially in the same price range and come with similar features, it becomes a little hard to decide which router is better. But worry not, we have got you covered.
