What is wireless router ?

 Introduction:-

A wireless  router is a device that performs the functions of a wireless  access point.
It is used to provide access to the Internet or a private computer network.  It is depending
on the manufacturer and model, it can function in a wired local area network (LAN), in a

Important Features:-                                                                                                              

Wireless router typically feature one or more network interface controls supporting fast Ethernet or gigabit Ethernet ports integrated into the mien SOC .
An Ethernet switch as described in IEEE 802.1q may interconnect multiple ports . Some routers implement link aggregation through which two or more ports to be used together improving throughput and redundancy .
All wireless routers feature one or more wireless network interface controllers . These are also integrated into the main SOC or may be separate chips on the printed circuit board .
It also can be a distinct card connected over a mini PCI or minipcle interface . Some dual-brand wireless routers operate the 2.4 GHZ and 5 GHZ bands simulataneously . Wireless controllers support a part of the IEEE 802.ii- standard family and may dual-band wireless routers have data transfer rates exceeding 300 mbit/s (for 2.4 GHZ band) and 450 mbit/s (for 5 GHZ band) . Some wireless routers provided multiple streams allowing multiples of data transfer rates (i.e.a three-stream wireless router allows transfer of up to 1.3 Ggit/s on the 5Ghz bands) 
Some wireless routers have one or two USB ports . These can be used to connect printer or desktop or mobile external hard disk drive to be used as a shared resource on the network . A USB port may also be used for connecting mobile boardband modem , a side from connecting the wireless router to an ethernet with x DSL or cable modem an Ethernet . A mobile broadband internet connection through the wireless network . Some wireless routers come with either XDSL modem , DOCSIS modem , LTE modem, or fiber optic modem integrated. 
The WiFi clone button simplifies wifi configuration and builds a seamless unified home network , enabling super extension, which means it can automatically copy the SSID and password of your
 router.
For example;-

Basically , We are using three types of  fastest router today . There are 

1.Best overall— NETGEAR Nighthowk  X10  , Speed 7200mbps

2. Best For Gaming —Asus RoG Rapture GT-AC5300, speed 5334mbps

3. Chepest TP-Link Archer C7 , Speed 1750mbps
