A modem, at the data link layer,
converts digital data into analog
signals for transmission.

Routers work across the data link,


network, and physical layers,
connecting multiple networks and
enabling their communication.

Switches operate at the data link


layer, facilitating information

WHAT IS A WIFI
ROUTER?
A router is a device that provides
Wi-Fi and is typically connected
to a modem. It sends information
from the internet to personal
devices like computers, phones,
and tablets. These internet-
connected devices in your home
make up your
Local Area Network (LAN). Once
a modem brings in information
from the internet, a router
distributes this data to your
personal devices.

A router is a device that communicates
between the internet and the devices in your
home that connect to the internet. As its
name implies, it “routes” traffic between the
devices and the internet.

A router is a key part of your home’s internet


network.

With the right kind of router, you can enjoy


faster internet speeds, help protect your
family from cyberthreats and hackers, and
avoid those maddening Wi-Fi dead spots.

Simply understanding the basics — such as a


router definition and knowing what does a
router do — will help you choose the right
equipment for your home network.

WI-FI COVERAGE
Wi-Fi signals within a home largely
depend on the size of the home and
the barriers that prevent signals from
reaching their destinations.
Fireplaces, mirrors, and thick walls
are just a few common obstacles that
block Wi-Fi signals. Look for a router
that has the capability to reach the
far corners of your home. Also, look
for one that has a mesh network — a
system that uses a main router and a
series of additional routers — to
boost and extend the Wi-Fi capa
bilities
across a home.

PERFORMANCE
Router technology has changed
over time. Make sure you have a
router that uses the latest
technology and has updated
firmware. MU-MIMO is one such
new technology. It stands for
multi-user, multiple-
input, multiple-output
technology. It allows Wi-Fi routers
to communicate with multiple
devices simultaneously. This
decreases the wait time and
improves network speed.

WI-FI SECURITY
Cybercriminals can access your home
network and install malware and
viruses in your devices. They can
also spy on the information you are
sending through email and the files
you download. Clever hackers can
even crack your home Wi-Fi network
to snatch your password and log-in
information to your online bank
accounts and credit card portals.

Hackers work with an arsenal of tools


to do this. Having a router that
provides network-level protection
could help block cyberattacks at the
port of entry. Look for a router that
has built-in security features like ALPINE SKI HOUSE

WI-FI CONTROLS
Routers have become a very
important part of the connected
home. Make sure you buy a router
that you can control easily. The latest
routers are easy to install and use.
Some come with user-friendly
apps that help you with guest
networks, parental controls, user time
limits, and network management.

Whether you are setting up a new


router in your home or upgrading an
existing one, make sure you get to
know all the workings of your new
router and if it is designed to meet
your needs.

WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF ROUTER?

• A router helps you connect multiple devices to


the Internet, and connect the devices to each
other. Also, you can use routers to create local
networks of devices.
• These local networks are useful if you want to
share files among devices or allow employees
to share software tools.
