What is a router?

An internet router distributes the internet—routes it, if you will—throughout your home. They typically have both wired ethernet connections as well as antennas to broadcast WiFi. Most routers now have multiple WiFi frequencies (2.4 and 5Ghz), as well as multiple protocols, aka tech “languages,” like 802.11a/b/g/ac.

Broadly speaking, the higher the letter or letter combo on the router, the greater the speed between your device and the router. “B” is slower than “AC” for instance, though there are many factors that impact overall network speed. If your tablet or phone is capable of, say, 802.11AX, it’s good to get a router that can do the same, since that will allow faster speeds. Generally speaking, routers are backwards-compatible with older wireless devices that use older protocols and will list which kinds of devices they can handle in their specs.

Getting a faster/better router can improve your surfing and download speeds, but not as much as a faster internet package from your provider.

Do you need a router or a modem?

Most internet providers will supply a modem and a router, often within a single device. However, they may also charge you a fee to “rent” this device. Buying your own can save you money in the long run.

You’ll need to make sure the modem is compatible with your internet provider. Routers are more widely compatible.
