What is a router?
Router is a device that enable the connection of multiple devices to a network so that people using computers at home or office can share files, internet or print and scan documents to one another.
Wired and Wireless Router
There are two types of routers, wired and wireless routers. Wired routers connect computers via an Ethernet cable with the use of output ports and are commonly used where wiring is available in every room.As data is easily contained and secured, wired routers usually provide better network security than wireless routers and are often cheaper than wireless ones.
Wireless routers are used to connect devices that are not reachable by the currently installed network. Nevertheless, in many instances ,wireless routers are also wired routers as these routers have both antennas that transmit radio signal to the wireless devices as well as ports at the back that allow the network connection of other wired devices.
Single vs Dual-band vs Tri-band
Single-band routers can only communicate over a single radio band, and they have to compete with against devices that are on the same radio band, such as microwave ovens, and wireless phones. Nevertheless, the single-band routers are good enough for Web surfing and connecting to social media services like Facebook and Twitter.
Dual-band routers have two radio bands and are ideal for streaming video from a service such as Netflix, or connecting to an online gaming service.
There are also tri-band routers that have three radio bands. These models are well-suited for multi-device households that experience heavy network traffic through video streaming, torrent downloading, file transfers, and online gaming.
Additional Features of Routers
Additional features of routers enable wi-fi management such as parental controls, Quality of Service (QoS) options, and a guest-network feature.Parental controls allow parents to keep a look-out on their child's online gaming and social networking activities whereas QoS settings allow the decision of which application gets network priority.
Set up wireless routers
Setting up a wireless router is effortless once you have computer with a wireless network adapter, together with an active high-speed Internet connection and router-specific setup software, which is included on a disc packaged with your router or available for download on the router manufacturer's support site .Follow instruction according to the instruction booklet to install wireless routers.
