Understanding Home WiFi Routers: A Practical Guide for Library Users
Many people who use the library's public internet also want better connectivity at home, and choosing a router can feel confusing. Market reports about the WiFi router industry tend to divide products into a few broad segments, and understanding those categories is the most useful way to make sense of what is on offer in shops.
The main types of router
- Single routers are the familiar box supplied by many internet providers. They suit smaller flats where the router can sit near the centre of the home.
- Mesh systems use two or more units placed around a house to spread a signal evenly. They are helpful in larger homes or buildings with thick stone or concrete walls, which are common in older houses.
- Mobile or 4G/5G routers take a SIM card and share a mobile data connection. They can be practical in rural areas where fixed broadband is limited.
Standards worth knowing
Routers are labelled with WiFi standards. WiFi 5 (802.11ac) is still adequate for browsing, email and video calls, while WiFi 6 (802.11ax) handles many connected devices at once more efficiently. Newer standards only bring full benefits if your phones and laptops also support them, so there is little point paying extra if your devices are older.
Simple tips for a safer, faster connection
- Change the default administrator password and network name when you first set up a router.
- Use WPA2 or, where available, WPA3 encryption.
- Install firmware updates when the manufacturer releases them.
- Place the router high up and away from microwaves, metal cabinets and thick walls.
- Restart the router occasionally if speeds drop.
If you would like help understanding home internet, online safety or using your own devices, look out for digital skills sessions listed on our programs page.
