The Wireless router Who, What, Where, How? What the heck is a
router.
Don't be confused, let me explain some of the details, so you can
easily choose which one |

They can be hardware or software. Commonly two LANs or WANs or a LAN and its ISP’s network. They are located at gateways, the places where two or more networks connect.
When choosing a wireless router for your
network.
One of the many features is
to block access to internet web pages you |
The Wireless N Giga Router has
Unbelievable Coverage for your Connected Home
The next generation wireless N provides wider coverage in more places, MiMo (pronounced my-mo) antenna technology, multiple radios which increases performance reducing dead spots and fewer dropped connections
Five times faster data transfer speeds then wireless 802.11-A,B,G networks
Think of wireless - N, as a four lane highway, more lanes, more traffic. So data can stream much faster
To get the speed and range advantage make sure all of your computers on the network are all wireless N devices
And you can believe that there are many unprotected systems available to them, So don't become another statistic, use a built in wireless router firewall
If a Wireless Router firewall blocks an invasion, then this is a good thing, because the firewall has done it's job, so the invaders move on to another system.

One of the advantages of a
wireless hardware firewalls is that it is always there, doesn't produce
loading errors when the computer is low on resources
example RAM-Memory and you can't accidentally
remove
it. Most stand alone routers offer security features, such as built in firewall software, and security software. I highly recommend a router with security tools enabled between your computer's and the internet. |
Even if you have a single computer, a router will
pay for itself with increased security. Default setting now
shield you better then
before,
and far better
then your
default settings for
Microsoft
windows software.
Connection Types And Variations
Normally you will have a combination of wired and wireless network connections in you home or business network.
- Wired - category (cat) 5e or cat 6 cabling
- Wireless - 802.11b,a or 802.11g,n
- Wired and wireless - Mutually
The More Features the Higher the Cost
- 802.11b is the cheapest of all
|
Tip: 802.11b and 802.11g, n, will work together on the same wireless network Wireless Speeds. |
If you are building a new network from scratch I would definitely go with the 802.11N standard for maximum through put
Finally, the wireless router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection, files, and other resources such as printers and hard disk storage space. A protective barrier
