Has 4 ethernet ports, I plug in my PS3, security system, solar panel, so I have one left for what ever I need, like a desktop. At the same time also has wi-fi for all wireless gadgets, like laptop, ipad, ipod, roku, 6 celphones.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Confusing question, Rudy. I think I know what you mean though. A WiFi router (and others, I might add) such as this IS the hub to the internet via your cable or phone connection, ISP. This and other models can connect to your computer either through an RJ-45 network cable and/or WiFi signal (if your computer/phone(s)) are so equipped. Most computers have the RJ-45 jack (and maybe a wireless adapter, too) to connect. Laptops TEND to have wireless built-in these days and probably an RJ-45, too. Smartphone tend to just have wireless features. So to simplify, This modem has ample connections for whatever device you probably have unless it's over 10 years old or so. But--to be quite honest--there are cheaper routers out there that will do the job for you. This one has advanced features for people who like to tinker with settings to squeeze out more bandwidth for certain tasks. It is a fine piece of equipment, nonetheless, but based on your question, it may be overkill if you haven't a clue what those features mean.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It uses a an ethernet cable to connect to the modem and it is the WIFI device, sending the WIFI signal to your wireless devices. We bought ours to connect to our new Charter- Spectrum internet modem to our smart TVs, smart phone, Kindle, and tablet, instead of renting their WIFI devce for $5 a month. Fairly easy to set up and connect with a password.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You should be able to use this router for wifi and if you choose too, you can ALSO have it directly hooked up to your computer i believe. Just read the instructions in the manual on how to hook it directly to your computer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.All routers do Wi-Fi. That's there main job.
