Do not use the modem as a router, there is a big difference between the two!

Many people have seen a light modem, many people have only a modem at home, because some modems have their own routing function, they use the modem as a wireless router, but this is a big discount to the wireless network at home, you Can't enjoy the good internet speed you should have. Next, let's first say the case of direct access to the Internet without a router light modem, the most common light modem connection mode has two: first, bridge mode, regardless of the following light modem is connected to the computer or connected to the router, all require manual dial-up Internet access, which is often said to be the light modem dial-up Internet access, that is, when you set up the router input broadband account password; the second is dial-up mode, is the operator to you when the network has been in the light of the modem dial-up, you do not need to dial directly to the Internet. The optical modem can be divided into wired Internet access and wireless internet access according to the Internet access function.

 First, cable internet access, as the name implies, is only able to connect to the internet locally, can not use WiFi Internet access; wireless Internet access of the optical modem with routing function, it can transmit WI-FI signals, with single-band 300M and dual-band 1200M, which is the same as dual-band wi-fi for routers, which is one of the main reasons why optical modems are most likely to be used directly as routers. If Phobos can transmit WI-FI signals, why can't they be used as routers? 1. Wireless network unstable WiFi signal is transmitted through the antenna outside, the common optical modem with routing function only has two antennas, with small capacity, the number of people connected to the cable and easy to drop the line, the routers on the number of antennas, and high configuration, with a large number of machines, so the router's wireless network is more stable than optical modem, it is not easy to drop the line. 2. WI-FI coverage is small. The router's optical modem sends out WI-FI coverage that is wireline. The ability to get through walls is even more limited. A little further away, the signal is very bad. The network is very slow, the common routers antenna has 4,5,6, materials also have 3DBI, 5DBI, 7dBi and other points, 2.5 g signal through the wall strong, 5G signal interference-free, fast network speed, signal coverage of a wider range. 3. Lack of common management function network development has reached an essential status, and network management is particularly important, the router has anti-rub network to protect their own network security function; There is also the management of children's time on the Internet, so that children can balance their learning and entertainment; the regulation of signal strength and weakness; and the management tools of the Internet, whether it is APP or wechat management, can the aspect and the quick carries on the inspection and the management to own network, but these functions are the light modem lacks. So, the recommendation is to choose a wireless router, if the home broadband is 100 megabytes or less, choose a 100 megabyte port router is enough, if the broadband upgrade to 200 megabytes, 300 megabytes or more, to choose a full gigabit router, because the port is gigabit to play more than 200 trillion bandwidth; now the intelligent router function is quite complete, please try to choose brand products, regular manufacturer of router quality, relatively guaranteed after-sales, especially when there is a small problem there is a completely different experience.
