Broadband + router explained
Wireless broadband (also known as Wi-Fi) is broadband transmitted via a router. It allows multiple users to access a broadband connection wirelessly throughout the house.
How do wireless routers for broadband work?
A wireless router converts and broadcasts the signals coming through your telephone wire around a fixed area, working on the same principle as a cordless home telephone.
The broadcasted signal is then picked up by wireless-enabled devices, such as laptops and gaming consoles, giving you wireless broadband connectivity throughout the house.
What wireless routers for broadband do:
- Provide a wireless internet connection to wireless-enabled devices such as computers, laptops and gaming consoles.
- Can be used to make VoIP calls.
- Facilitate digital TV.
How to set up a wireless broadband connection
You will need to set up a simple WLAN (wireless local area network). But don’t worry – most broadband providers provide simple ‘plug and play’ wireless equipment which involves little more than:
- Plugging in a wireless modem/ router
- Loading up a CD-ROM with the wireless broadband software.
