When you are renting a Wi-Fi router for business, you are looking for a router that can offer a robust amount of security. In a business setting security is even more important than being able to have all of your users online and surfing at blazing speeds. When renting a business router, also consider what type of remote access it offers, as well as the scalability of the system. You will want to know how many users will be able to access a single router, for example.

The main features of Wi-Fi routers specifically for business tend to be less robust than their consumer counterparts are. Many of the models will include a Fast Ethernet switch, and most will only operate on a 2.4GHz band. They operate on this band so they can accommodate more users at a time, which is a typical need for many businesses today. These often have the same number of ports as consumer routers. Some of the other features that a business router may include are virtual networks, robust VPN, DMZ port, and IPv6 support.

The Wi-Fi router for your business works similar to a personal router you might have for a home network. The device connects the computer, or computers, to a network without the need for cables. Computers that have wireless access are able to connect to these routers and still access the web, or the intranet. With this type of router, it is possible for multiple computers to connect to the same network simultaneously. Keep in mind that there is generally a distance limit as to how far away these devices will work. It is generally around 100 feet.

Wi-Fi routers could be a very important part of your business, especially if you are not able to hardwire all of the computers to the router at your company. In fact, wireless is generally the best option. They are going to be the central point when it comes to your workplace network. However, you need to make sure that you have a high quality router that is capable of handling the traffic from all of your computers. It is important to remember that there is a difference between business routers and personal routers, mainly in the features you need.
