Buy your holy grail high-speed wireless internet router at Mwave
Buying a new wireless internet router is one of the easiest ways to improve your home WiFi. The right equipment can give you faster internet, eliminate dead zones in the home and offer superior features like parental controls and guest WiFi.
Shop leading wireless WiFi modem and router brands TP Link, Asus, Netgear and DrayTek today.
What is a router?
Every internet setup consists of a modem and a router. Modems connect your home to the internet while routers link up to the modem to allow access to the internet via a wired or wireless connection.
Routers can exist as a single router or as a router-modem. Currently the next generation WiFi 6 is capable of delivering blazing fast speed to a large number of devices in the home including VR gaming rigs, smart home appliances, 4k and 8k streaming.
What is the difference between a modem and a router?
An internet modem’s function is to connect your local network of devices to the wider internet. It typically connects to the wall outlet specified by your internet service provider. Most households connect to the internet through a Fibre to the Node (FTTN) or Fibre to the Building NBN connection and will need a modem router.
What is a WPS on a router?
WPS or Wi-Fi Protected Setup is a feature which allows devices to connect to a secure wireless network without a password. Rather than manually entering a password to join an SSID or network, devices can instantly connect by pushing the WPS button on their router.
Some routers permit connection to the internet via an 8-digit pin number found on the router while others support NFC (Near Field Communication) which allows you to connect your device by bringing it closer to the router.
Wired router vs wireless router
Wired routers offer stable and consistent internet speeds ideal for high bandwidth activity like online gaming and high volume streaming and downloading. The key difference between wired and wireless routers is in how they transfer data.
Wired routers transmit large amounts of data through a cable connection whereas wireless routers send and receive data through radio signals. If your household has many devices spread over a large area consider a wifi extender to boost your internet signal.
