Wireless routers can connect to the Internet, enabling wired and wireless terminals to share broadband internet access. The performance of wireless routers determines the overall internet experience of the local area network, and different application scenarios have different requirements,
1. Home broadband
Household routers are divided into two categories based on wired port rates: 100M routers and Gigabit routers. If the broadband line to the home is less than 100M, choosing a 100M port router can meet the demand; If the broadband line at home is ≥ 100M, it is recommended to choose a gigabit port router to avoid affecting the internet experience. Most TP-LINK
Wireless Router models will indicate the Gigabit version, such as TL-WDR7660 Gigabit version.

Different apartment environments have different requirements for routers, such as two bedrooms and one living room with a small area that only requires one wireless router for basic coverage, while larger apartment types such as duplex or villa require the use of packaged products or multiple wireless product networking to achieve comprehensive coverage. Please refer to the Home Wireless Networking Solution for choosing a wireless router for large household sizes

Household wireless routers are divided into three categories based on frequency bands: single frequency wireless routers, dual frequency wireless routers, and triple frequency wireless routers, among which dual frequency routers are currently the mainstream products. It is recommended to choose dual frequency or triple frequency routers, which have low wireless interference, fast speed, and better wireless experience.

4. Wireless rate
The theoretical wireless rate is related to the number of antennas and modulation technology. Generally speaking, the more antennas there are, the higher the wireless transmission rate. Some TP-LINK products adopt MU-MIMO wireless technology, allowing multiple wireless terminals to transmit data simultaneously, resulting in a qualitative leap in wireless speed experience.
5. Carrying capacity
The carrying capacity of different routers may vary, and a suitable router can be selected based on the number of terminals that need to be connected to the network. Generally, the higher the wireless specification, the greater the carrying capacity, and the carrying capacity of dual frequency wireless routers is much higher than that of single frequency wireless routers.
6. Other application functions
The TP-LINK wireless router has rich functions and can be selected according to needs. For example, the "Visitor Network" function can isolate the host network and guest network, ensuring internal network security; The "wireless access control" function can fundamentally solve the problem of network scraping, allowing only one's own device to connect to the router; The "automatic cleaning" function can automatically clear cached data, making the router run more stably; The "signal adjustment" function can adjust the wireless transmission power; Wait a minute. Generally speaking, a single wireless router can meet the network needs of ordinary small and medium-sized household environments. For more complex apartment types (such as large three bedroom/four bedroom flat floors, duplex, villas, etc.), obstacles such as load-bearing walls, partitions, and baffles cause significant attenuation during signal transmission, and a single router cannot fully cover every corner.
