Routers and networking equipment in India: what to pay

Updated 4 November 2026

A home Wi-Fi router in India costs about ₹1,159 to ₹2,599 for a basic model, ₹2,499 to ₹4,349 for Wi-Fi 6, and ₹4,349 to ₹10,499 for a mesh system covering several floors. For the current price of the exact model, describe what you need in a request on BlaBlaPrice, and the AI will check sellers' websites and price lists in India.

Certificates to ask about

Search results for routers sold in India describe several approvals: BIS CRS certification, WPC certification, TEC registration, and an EPR certificate for electronics. One snippet says routers must meet telecom equipment rules before they can be imported or distributed in India, and another says IP routers and Wi-Fi CPE devices need a mandatory security certification. Ask the seller which of these the model holds, and get the numbers in writing.

Warranty terms

Warranty terms differ by brand. One Indian manufacturer's policy covers defects in the main device, antenna and external power supply, but not packaging or cables. Another brand's standard warranty is two years and applies only to products sold by its Indian arm. Enterprise routers appear in government tender specifications with 36 months of warranty, so for an office ask for the period in writing.

Coverage, units and delivery

Indian listings quote Wi-Fi coverage in square feet: one listing for a Wi-Fi 6 router says it covers 1,500 sq. ft, which is about 140 m². Give your flat or office size in square metres, plus the number of floors and the walls between rooms, because they change the result. Delivery runs between Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai, so state your city in the request.

Season and installation

Routers do not follow a season, but the climate is hot all year with a wet and a dry season. Plan outdoor antennas and cable runs for the drier weeks, and ask whether setup or installation is included in the price, since that changes the total.

What to write in the request

Name the device and its specifications: Wi-Fi standard, number of ports, speed, and the area to cover in square metres. Say whether you need a mesh system for several floors, a business router for a small office, or a switch to connect cameras and access points. Add the make and model if you have one, and say whether new or used is fine.
