Routers & Modems

Routers and modems are essential networking devices that ensure stable and high-speed internet connectivity. A modem connects your home or office to your internet service provider (ISP), while a router distributes this connection to multiple devices. Some models combine both functions in one device. Depending on your needs, you can choose from DSL, fiber, cable, or wireless routers. Features such as dual-band Wi-Fi, MU-MIMO, and security protocols like WPA3 enhance performance and security.
