HILPCB provides advanced Router PCB solutions that combine high‑frequency design expertise with precision manufacturing and assembly. Our boards are engineered for reliable data transmission across consumer routers, enterprise switches, industrial networking devices, and next‑generation 5G infrastructure.
Modern Router PCBs integrate multi‑layer RF and digital routing, EMI shielding, and compact layouts to support multi‑gigabit throughput. Our expertise ranges from dual‑band WiFi 2.4/5 GHz boards to complex tri‑band and 5G systems with MIMO antennas, hardware acceleration, and advanced routing protocols.
Router PCB Design and Architecture
High‑performance Router PCB design requires precise signal integrity, multi‑layer routing, and EMI mitigation. Key elements include:
- RF Front-End: Multi‑band transceivers for 2.4/5/6 GHz WiFi with PA/LNA and antenna switching
- Digital Core: High‑speed processors with DDR4/DDR5 and dedicated packet buffers
- Power Delivery Network: Multi‑rail regulation, optimized decoupling, and thermal monitoring
- Controlled Impedance: 50 Ω single‑ended and 100 Ω differential pairs with minimal via stubs
Advanced Router PCBs typically use 4‑12 layer stackups with dedicated power and ground planes, designed for minimal crosstalk and low‑loss high‑speed paths. For complex routing requirements, our multilayer PCB solutions provide the foundation for sophisticated network designs. Pre‑layout simulation and electromagnetic modeling ensure signal integrity and manufacturability for high‑frequency and gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
High-Frequency Router PCB Manufacturing
Manufacturing Router PCBs for enterprise and 5G applications requires strict process control to achieve high‑frequency reliability:
- Substrate Materials: Rogers RO4350B / RO4003C for low‑loss RF; high‑grade FR4 for cost‑sensitive 2.4 GHz designs
- Impedance Control: ±5% tolerance verified by TDR for RF and high‑speed Ethernet lines
- HDI and Via Technology: Laser‑drilled microvias, sequential lamination, and back‑drilling for high‑density routing
- Surface Finish: ENIG for solder reliability and stable RF performance
- Precision Assembly: 0.4 mm BGA, 01005 components, ±25 µm placement accuracy
