  • In this Let's Teach video, I’ll answer the question - what is a wifi router and how does it work? I’ll answer that question and also provide tips on what to look for when selecting a wifi router. I’ll also review three wifi routers that you might want to consider if you’re thinking about purchasing one. I’ll leave a link for each one in the description below. Let’s get started.
    A Wi-Fi router performs the dual functions of a wireless access point and a router. A Wi-Fi router is sometimes known as a WLAN device too.

    Will make a hopefully helpful note @ 3:40 that technically you CAN measure router internet speed in Megabytes per second (MBps), BUT routers and ISP packages sold are [disingenuously] marketed with their speed measured in Megabits per second (Mbps). It's a quick conversion, as there are 8 bits in each byte: 8 Mb = 1 MB ~~ (Mbps / 8) = MBps
    It is the most common complaint when people upgrade their internet, "why am I only getting 100 MB per second download speed, when I'm paying for 800!"

    Greetings, thank you for taking the time to share this informational video. Your explanation was very clear. I've learnt a lot from you. I am looking to buy a universal router, where it will be compatible in multiple countries, do you have any recommendations? Also, is it necessary to purchase a router and a modem?

    • @LetsTeach
      @LetsTeach  2 года назад +4

      Thanks for watching! First, the modem allows you to access the internet service that you’re paying your provider for so it’s definitely something you must have. Secondly, the router enables the internet signal to be accessed by multiple devices at the same time. Finally, I haven’t had experience with a universal router but take a look at this company: soliswifi.co. Perhaps that is what you’re looking for.

      Hi. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video. Unfortunately, I only know how to explain selecting an internet provider in the US. Here, the choice is almost made for you. For example, I only have two providers to choose from in my area. One is ATT and the other is a cable company. One provides internet access via a phone line and the other sends the internet signal through the cable line. Over here, they’re both monthly services. I’m able to pay through my phone or I can send the monthly fee using my bank’s billpay service. I do the latter.
      I’m not sure if any of this helps you but thanks for the question and thanks again for watching. 🤓

    • @LetsTeach
      @LetsTeach  3 года назад +2

      Because you’re in a rural area, you’re at the mercy of AT&T simply because they may be your only ISP option. If cable internet is available in your area, I’d suggest either switching or (if it’s feasible) having both so that you’re hardly ever without Internet access. 🤓

    • @LetsTeach
      @LetsTeach  2 года назад +1

      First, you’ll want to check to make sure your internet speed is a minimum of 3 mbps (download speed) and 1 mbps (upload). If that’s what your ISP is giving you, then you’ll want to make sure you have a good router so that you can actually get those speeds. Ideally, you’d want to plug your PS4 directly into the router instead of trying to play over wifi though. I hope this helps. 🤓

      Whatever the ISP sent you is probably garbage. You can tell them about it and if they can't fix it ask them to put their modem/router into bridge mode. That shuts off it's router function so you can go out and get yourself a decent wireless router.

    • @JJFlores197
      @JJFlores197 2 года назад

      You will need to plug in the AT&T gateway to an available phone jack in your home via phone cable. That's pretty much all you need assuming the wall jack is active. You may want to plug a computer to the router via an ethernet cable (standard network cable) to make sure your internet connection works.
      You could use your own router, but AT&T doesn't make it that easy so you will need to do some custom configuration on your AT&T gateway to get it to work correctly with another router. AT&T has some instructions on their page buried somewhere.

      I’m not 100% sure because I can’t see for myself but the number one advice is to unplug your router and modem from the power source for at least 30 seconds. Also, unplug any Ethernet cables. Then reconnect everything. You’ve just reset your system and that usually solves issues like what I understand yours to be. By the way, thanks for the compliment!

      ​@@ismailjammeh2495 If by "host" you mean internet service provider, then no. I think you're asking if you can have more than one internet signal plugged into the same router. I don't believe you can. The router is taking a single internet signal and spreading it throughout the space. At my house, I wasn't getting all the coverage I needed so I purchased an EERO Mesh system. That helped. To make internet coverage even stronger in the house, I had sign up for an additional account so that I could have a second signal added to my location. So now, I have certain devices linked to internet signal #1 and different devices linked to internet signal #2. I hope at least some of this explanation helps you.

      Think of it this way. In this example, wifi is the air around you. Your internet service provider gives you a modem. Think of the modem like it's your lungs. The modem brings the wifi into your location just like your lungs bring oxygen into your body. If you want to share the wife throughout your location, you get a router. So in this example, the router is your heart. The router takes the wifi signal from the modem and distributes it to devices all around your location. That's like your heart taking the oxygen that your lungs brought in and spreading it throughout your body using your veins. I hope that helps.

    Here’s some tips more antennas the better you’ll get a stronger signal. A 5ghz band is the way to go it can send lots of data quickly which is good. A fast internet plan will also help the router is only as good as your internet speed. If your service provider has there own built in router you can still plug in your own router just plug a Ethernet cable into one of the LAN out ports and plug the other end into your internet in port on the router. I like doing this because it acts like a secondary protection from hackers and you can get a 5ghz band from your router.

      You’d plug the router into your modem and then follow the directions that com with the router to make sure it connects to your network. All routers come with the instructions.

      You’re on the right track. With a wifi router, you’ll be able to bring the internet signal that’s upstairs to your PS5. Your Ps5 will work better if it’s plugged directly into your modem but a strong wifi connection is a good Plan B. I hope my explanation helps.

      @@Sakura10501 Yes, a Wi-Fi router can be used with Sky Wi-Fi service. If you have Sky Broadband, you'll typically receive a Sky router when you sign up for their service. This router is designed to work optimally with Sky's network.
      However, if you wish to use your own router, you can, but there are a few things to keep in mind:
      1. **Compatibility**: Ensure the router you plan to use is compatible with Sky's service. Some routers may not be compatible due to specific requirements or settings that Sky uses.
      2. **Settings**: You might need to enter specific settings, such as the username, password, and other broadband settings, to make your router work with Sky.
      3. **Performance**: While your own router may work, it might not be optimized for Sky's service, which means you could experience reduced performance or other issues.
      4. **Support**: If you're using your own equipment and run into any problems, Sky might not offer support since you're not using their provided hardware.
      5. **Sky Q**: If you have Sky Q, it uses its own mesh network to connect Sky Q Mini boxes. If you use a third-party router, ensure it doesn't interfere with this setup.
      If you're comfortable making these adjustments and troubleshooting potential issues, you can use your own router. If not, it might be simpler to stick with the router provided by Sky. Always check the latest guidance from Sky or consult their customer service before making any changes.

      Are you saying that your internet speed is slow? If you plug your computer directly into the modem and the internet runs slow, a router won’t fix that. It means the internet signal that you’re paying for is slow. You’ll need to purchase a higher speed.

      @@amuletcommunity I don’t know if the rules are the same around the world but I believe you’d need an adult to open an account with an ISP. Once the account is open, the company won’t care who’s paying the bill as long as it’s being paid. So you can pay the bill even if the account isn’t in your name. Also, anyone can buy a router. So that part won’t be a problem for you at all.

      Think of it like a cellphone. You can go to Walmart and buy a cellphone but it won’t have any service. You can go to Walmart and buy a wifi router but you’ll still need internet service.

      A router simply allows you to spread the wifi signal throughout the space. It also allows you to hardwire more devices to your ISP.

      For most home use cases, the ISP equipment is generally good enough. If you need functions like better wifi coverage, more control over the network, etc a 3rd party router would probably be of benefit to you. Just depends on your needs with your network. Some ISPs disable/limit features like port forwarding, VLANs, etc.

      You need to pay for internet service and then the router will allow multiple devices to access that internet signal at the same time. 🤓

      Let's TEACH does the router increase internet speed

    • @LetsTeach
      @LetsTeach  2 года назад

      Unfortunately, it won't increase internet speed. You can only get the amount of speed that your internet service provider is sending you. A good router will allow you to access that speed on multiple devices though.
