An early example of a wireless router The internal components of a wireless router. A wireless router or Wi-Fi router is a device that performs the functions of a router and also includes the functions of a wireless access point. It is used to provide access to the Internet or a private computer network.
This Linksys WRT54GS, a combined router and Wi‑Fi access point, operates using the 802.11g standard in the 2.4 GHz ISM band using signalling rates up to 54 Mbit/s. IEEE 802.11 Wi-fi networks are the most widely used wireless networks in the world, connecting devices like laptops (left) to the internet through a wireless router (right)
Routers often incorporate a digital subscriber line modem or a cable modem and a Wi-Fi access point, are frequently set up in homes and other buildings, to provide Internet access for the structure. Similarly, battery-powered routers may include a mobile broadband modem and a Wi-Fi access point. When subscribed to a cellular data carrier, they ...
802.11g is the third modulation standard for wireless LANs.It works in the 2.4 GHz band (like 802.11b) but operates at a maximum raw data rate of 54 Mbit/s.Using the CSMA/CA transmission scheme, 31.4 Mbit/s [9] is the maximum net throughput possible for packets of 1500 bytes in size and a 54 Mbit/s wireless rate (identical to 802.11a core, except for some additional legacy overhead for ...
Wi-Fi 6, or IEEE 802.11ax, is an IEEE standard from the Wi-Fi Alliance, for wireless networks ().It operates in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, [9] with an extended version, Wi-Fi 6E, that adds the 6 GHz band. [10]
IEEE 802.11ac-2013 or 802.11ac is a wireless networking standard in the IEEE 802.11 set of protocols (which is part of the Wi-Fi networking family), providing high-throughput wireless local area networks (WLANs) on the 5 GHz band.
WRT54GX comes with SRX (Speed and Range eXpansion), which uses "True MIMO" technology. It has three antennas and was once marketed as a "Pre-N" router, with eight times the speed and three times the range over standard 802.11g routers. [citation needed]
For example, the sample diagram does not indicate the physical type of connection between the PCs and the switch, but since a modern LAN is depicted, Ethernet may be assumed. If the same style of line was used in a WAN (wide area network) diagram, however, it may indicate a different type of connection.
