Frequently Asked Question on Introduction of a Router
How Router is different from Wi-Fi?
A router is not just for Wi-Fi, even though it can broadcast a wireless signal (Wi-Fi) to connected and enabled devices. In addition, routers provide wired connectivity to the Internet. Once the router has established a hardwired or Ethernet connection to the Internet, it can then translate that connection into Wi-Fi signal that multiple devices can pick up.
What is difference between Modem and Router?
A modem, often known as an ISP, is a device that links your home network to your internet service provider. A router is a device that enables all of your wired and wireless devices to access the internet simultaneously and to communicate with one another.
Can a router have two IP addresses?
Your router has several IP addresses on its own. In addition to the router’s internal IP, which serves as your LAN default gateway, it also contains additional private IP addresses for each device and a private “management” IP address.
What is an SSID?
SSID stands for “Service Set Identifier”. SSIDs allow users to locate and join the wireless network that the router broadcasts.
