Routers

A router is an electronic device used to connect two or more computers or other electronic devices to each other, and usually to the Internet, by wire or radio signals. This allows several computers to communicate with each other and to the Internet at the same time. If wires are used, each computer is connected by its own wire to the router. A typical modern home wireless router, in addition to having four wired ports, also allows several devices to connect with it wirelessly. Most modern personal computers are built with a wired port (almost always an Ethernet type), which allows them to connect to a router with the addition of just a cable. ADSL2+ Routers extend the capability of basic ADSL by doubling the number of downstream bits. The data rates can be as high as 24 Mbit/s downstream and up to 3.5 Mbit/s upstream. This makes the computer connection to the internet faster than previous standards.
