Wi-Fi routers are expected to explode in price due to RAM shortage

PC hardware prices are skyrocketing all over the place, with RAM and SSDs and now even hard drives leading the charge. But there’s another casualty on the horizon: Wi-Fi routers could soon become significantly more expensive. Thus say market researchers, who cite the 600 percent increase in memory prices as the main driving force.

Market analysts at Counterpoint Research have issued this unpleasant prediction, pointing to the fact that RAM isn’t only found in PCs, laptops, smartphones, and tablets… but also in routers.
