The most efficient wireless router for home use is the Belkin routers. They are some good routers to use for home. They get a lot of good reviews on this product.
It is most definitely a wireless router.
On a good router, yes. Most of the cheaper ones require you to run a CD on each computer that connects to the router.
No, With most wireless cameras; they rely on a wireless routers signal to work.
You can purchase a wireless router from most electronic retailers such as Fry's, Staples, and Best Buy. They sell wireless routers at their online sites, too.
To get "wireless" access from a cable modem, you will need a wireless router in addition to the cable modem. Wireless routers are made by Linksys, and a number of other vendors. Start: 1. Plug the coax cable from the wall into your modem. (this is the "live" internet connection now powering your modem. The modem is now "live") 2. Run the ethernet cable from your modem into your wireless router. (this router is now "live") 3. Run the ethernet cable from the wireless router into your PC. (the PC is now "live") You are basically looping the modem into the router, and the router to your PC, instead of going directly from the modem into the PC. The benefit of looping the wireless router in between the Modem and the PC is so that the wireless router can get a live internet signal and broadcast a "wireless" signal to your home and surrounding 100 foot area. The reason you loop the ethernet cable from the wireless router (in step #2) back into your PC is so that the PC can get the internet connection. Most PC's don't have a wireless "receiver" to receive the wireless signal, and require a direct input from an ethernet cable. Most laptops have wireless ("receivers" aka: modems) and can receive the signal from the wireless router (which is now actively receiving and broadcasting the signal) which we connected in step #2. The concept is very similar to your home telephone with a wireless handset. The phone line runs into the base station, and you can walk around your home with a wireless phone. This is the same with your laptop, and the wireless router is just like the base station of your phone.
Usally the router will have little ariels on it if its wirless. Though this isn't always true. Just google the make and model number. Though most home user routers are wireless... why do you think most home users want routers..????
Absolutely. Most wireless routers have physical ports in the back that you can plug into just like a wired router.
This question can be answered with a simple "yes" or "no" but that wouldn't do it justice. For all intents and purposes, yes, you need a Wireless router for a home wireless network. In industry, however, there are many solutions that do not involve an actual router, but instead a wireless bridge. In residential environments, a wireless router is actually a whole slew of network devices wrapped into a single plastic box. These devices include a wireless access point (which is essentially a specialized RF radio), a switch which handles internal traffic, and a router which deals with traffic from the internet going to your internal network and vice versa. In industry, the access points that you may see are simply that: the wireless access points. They are specialized to just broadcast a very strong signal. There are many other solutions to wifi, but the most common approach is a simple access point.
In most cases you can.
I've had great experiences with Netgear wireless routers and terrible experience with Belkins. A 'Wireless-G' router is good enough for most people, but if you want more bandwidth go with a 'Wireless-N' router.
Hello, I am using a D-Link, DSL-G604T wireless router and find it going really good. I have a new LG P1-KB11A Laptop with Vista Business working through the router and all functions spot on.
A wireless router "N" has one of the fastest speeds available. It is more costly than the basic wireless router speed of "G". To ensure getting the fastest speed, be sure both the wireless router and wireless card have the same speed. Most laptops with built in wireless cards only have a speed of "G". The network runs at the slowest speed that is being used. An upgraded card may be needed.
