Know About Wi-Fi Routers

When you get into a store to buy a Wi-Fi router ,you would come across the terms Single-band ,Dual band, N and G. What are these actually?.These are the key terms of the routers and decides your selection good or bad. Almost every current broadband router comes with a Wi-Fi capability. Never go behind a Wi-Fi router by the advertisers claims. Some claim a 300 Mbps speed that’s of no use in the current world. You will never find a hot spot with such a speed. Never look for the speeds, instead look for the features.

The N and G are actually the IEEE standards. N for 802.11n and G for 802.11g . G routers are always cheaper than N and its been used for the past 7 yrs and still stays in the market because of its threat management and powerful firewall features. When you go for only speed, N routers rocks.

N routers are classified into 2 types - Single Band (2.4GHz) and Dual Band (2.4GHz and 5 GHz). Even a single-band N routers are faster than G routers due to the better use of frequency. Dual band routers are much expensive but its worth paying with its whooping speeds than that of a single band.
