Buying Guide for NetGear 54Mbps Wireless Routers

If you're looking for a Wi-Fi router for your home network, either to replace an older model or add one to your local area network, one of NetGear's line of wireless routers could fit your needs. NetGear makes routers that can add wireless connectivity to your home.

What is a wireless router?

A wireless router is a networking device that serves as the hub through which computers and other Internet-capable devices can connect to your Internet service. Strictly speaking, a wireless router functions as two hubs at the same time. It's a wireless access point and a hub for computers to connect with a network cable. Routers have another purpose besides providing access: they also can filter incoming and outgoing connection requests to keep your network secure and control Internet access.

What aresome features of a wireless router?
  • Protocol: You'll see wireless routers list a protocol like 802.11n on their packaging. The numbers stay the same, but as wireless networking technology has advanced, the letter at the end has changed. That letter will tell you what generation of wireless technology a router uses. 802.11ac is the latest version, which superseded 802.11n. Before 802.11n was 802.11g, b, and a. Each generation of wireless technology has increased the range and data speed of Wi-Fi connections.
  • Ethernet ports: Routers usually have Ethernet ports, so you can connect computers with cables instead of relying on wireless connections. If you prefer using cables, then consider how many ports you'll want the router to have when you're choosing which one to buy.
  • Signal strength: Signal strength is an important feature because it determines how easy or difficult it is to interfere with your internet connection. The weaker the signal strength, the more likely it will be for the internet to cut out on you. It can also partially dictate the speed of your internet connection.
