A wireless router is used to connect a computer, or network, to another computer or network. It works either through a broadband cable or a DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) internet connection. It uses radio waves to broadcast signals, and also to collect them. The wireless router's main function is to decipher the radio waves and translate them into terms that we can understand. It helps us to relay information from one place to another, or multiple places.

∙ 12y agoA wireless router is like a Modem (internet connection machine) but does not require cables to be connected to the computer itself. You can go on the internet where there is WIFI or wireless connection available when there is a wireless router available. All you need is a WEP code and WPN to gain access. When you have a wireless router, you don't have to worry about dial up or getting kicked off the server because wireless routers are almost 100% glitch free.

A wireless printer is added to the wireless network and assigned an IP address. When a print job is ready, it is sent over the network to the printer and executed. The printer can be made available to any computer on the network.
