Wi-Fi Routers
Wi-Fi routers are essential devices that allow you to create a wireless network in your home, office, or other settings. They connect to your internet source (such as a modem) and distribute the connection wirelessly to multiple devices, enabling internet access without the need for cables. With advancements in Wi-Fi technology, routers now offer faster speeds, better coverage, and improved security features.
Wi-Fi routers function by transmitting data over radio waves to and from connected devices. They operate on different frequency bands (such as 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), each with its own strengths and limitations. The router receives data from the internet and converts it into a wireless signal that is broadcast to devices within its range. Devices with Wi-Fi capabilities can connect to the router to access the internet.
