A wireless router modem provides internet connectivity above and beyond a normal Internet router. Many businesses use a traditional setup of a modem that is connected to a router. However, a modem with a built in router can allow businesses to reduce their IT outlay as well as increase the speed of their Internet connectivity within the office.

Many cable providers as well as DSL companies charge a fee for subscribers to use their modem equipment each month. Thankfully, a wireless router modem can allow businesses to break free from the traditional cost of having to use the cable or DSL providers modem. Subscribers can check to see whether or not a wireless router modem is compatible with their service provider by contacting their cable or DSL company. The company often maintains a list of the compatible wireless router modem devices that are on the market and which devices are supported by the company.

Another factor to consider when selecting a wireless router modem is what type of wireless network a customer wants to create. There are a number of different wireless formats currently available. Business owners can choose to create a wireless b, g or n network. Each of these different formats supports a different speed as well a range from the router. 802.11 B networks are the oldest network format. 802.11 G networks are the most common to see in many business applications today. 802.11 N networks are the newest network format to see. 802.11 N networks can support speeds of up to 100 MBPS. 802.11 N networks also have an increased range which makes them extremely useful in a larger workplace.

Selecting the right wireless router modem for your business can be quite difficult. However, the process does not have to be impossible. Ensure that you contact your Internet company to see what wireless router modem models and manufacturers they support. Also, review the different models available to ensure reliability. Finally, make sure that you select the right type of wireless network for your business. The newer the type of network, the more likely you are to see extremely fast speeds as well as a larger area of service from one wireless router modem.
