FAQ

A hardware router is a physical device designed to direct network traffic between devices and the internet. Unlike software routers, which use a computer's processing power and software to route traffic, hardware routers have dedicated components optimized for network management, often providing better performance and reliability.

Yes, most hardware routers are designed to connect seamlessly with a wide range of modems. Simply connect your modem to the router’s WAN or Internet port, and then connect your devices to the router via Ethernet cables or Wi-Fi.

Key features to consider include dual-band or tri-band Wi-Fi, support for the latest Wi-Fi standards (such as Wi-Fi 6), multiple Ethernet ports, parental controls, guest network options, and robust security features like firewall protection.

To set up a hardware router, connect it to your modem using an Ethernet cable, power it on, and follow the setup instructions provided in the user manual. Most routers offer a web-based or app-based setup wizard that guides you through configuring your network name (SSID), password, and other settings.

Yes, modern hardware routers are designed to handle multiple devices simultaneously, including computers, smartphones, smart TVs, and other connected devices. Advanced models use technologies like MU-MIMO and beamforming to optimize performance for multiple users.
