Your router will most likely be compatible with Bark Home unless it's listed as incompatible below.

The Bark Home device was designed to work with as many routers as possible. Although we have tested Bark Home's technology with many router models, there are thousands of options available and not all have been tested. (How do I find my router model?)

To get Bark Home, buy it here!

Key

✅ = Router is fully compatible. If your router is not listed, it is most likely compatible!
