A home wireless network allows Internet access through laptops, netbooks, tablets and phones from any room in the house. And this is possible thanks to the routers, computers that connect to the modem and are the heart of wireless networks (Wi-Fi). Here are some facts and suggestions that they want to be helpful in choosing a home router.
The main difference that can exist between the routers is given by the technology standard to which they belong. Currently, in the Latin American market coexist routers designed with the IEEE 802.11g standard (known as "routers G") and those who respond to the latest IEEE 802.11n (or "N routers). Within the N, in turn, there is more n150. The G routers in the best transport data at 54 megabits per second (Mb / s), while the n150 reach the 150 Mb / s and N reaching 300 Mb / s.
"How big is the house where the router installed?". All the experts consulted by Next agreed that this is one of the first questions that must be made when choosing a router. A big house with barbecue fund and have requirements different from one-bedroom apartment. If the spaces are too large to cover or obstacles that must pass through the Wi-Fi signal (walls, concrete structures) are many, should opt for a N150 or an N router, which will ensure wider coverage. But, in the opinion of Carlos Solano, marketing director for the Southern Cone Belkin signature to a small apartment, a G router is "perfect."
Another item to check is what we will use the wireless network. If you intend to heavy use (download videos, group play), the experts say that the right choice is a router N. Sergio Fasano, Ceti Institute, says that if you use Wi-Fi for video calls or other tasks that require significant data traffic, the advantage of N on a G router can be perceived. "But in normal web browsing is very difficult to notice it," he says.
The experts also recommend taking into account the bandwidth of Internet access that account. Of little use in a superrouter, they say, if it is shared with a connection of only 1 Mb / s. "It would and fire hoses have to share the water coming into house through a straw, "said Solano.
also say they know, you have to look for what teams will use Wi-Fi network. If the only notebook in the house is equipped with 802.11g, of little use in a router N. Mariano Tomalino, Linksys company says that the vast majority of notebooks running at up to 150 Mb / s. Data that should be taken into account before a router excited than 300 Mb / s.
Other issues mentioned by the experts to consider are the design, the ability of the router to connect to 3G networks, security and support (on All to configure the router).
G or N . The main difference between routers is the technology standard to which they belong. Currently living the IEEE 802.11g and those who respond to the latest IEEE 802.11n standard. Question
space. If the surface to be covered by Wi-Fi network is too large or if the signal must pass through many obstacles, it would be best to opt for a router to the latest (the technology N).
what used to network. If you intend to play in groups, download videos or make video calls, you should choose one of the routers that offer higher bandwidth band. For just surfing the Internet, a G is fine.
