A wireless dial-up router is different from a wireless router.

I believe that you should be familiar with the differences between wireless and wireless network interfaces. So do you know the difference between a wireless dial-up router and a wireless router? This is an article about wireless dial-up routers and wireless routers. I hope that you can clearly identify the differences between the two through this article.

Previously, I introduced to my friends a method to use a wireless dial-up router for wired and wireless hybrid networking. Because it integrates the ADSL dialing function, which reduces equipment, maintenance costs, and many similarities with wireless routers, can it completely replace the latter? This article will compare two devices in multiple ways, so that you can have a deeper understanding.

1. Comparison of the two vrouters

First, we will compare the two vrouters. The two devices are very similar in shape and size, just as they have similar names. These two products are put together like two twins, which are hard to distinguish from their appearance. How can we differentiate them?

In fact, the WLAN port of the wireless router is RJ45 port, which is used to connect the network cable.
 

 

The WLAN port on the wireless dial-up router is port, which is used to connect to the telephone line.

Through the above method, we can quickly identify the two different devices.

2. Functional Comparison

In terms of functions, both devices have wireless and routing functions, and both have Ethernet ports, enabling hybrid wired and wireless networking.

However, their functional differences are also very obvious. First, the wireless dial-up router integrates the ADSL dial-up function to enable independent ADSL dial-up. However, the wireless router must work with the ADSL moderm to perform ADSL dial-up. Secondly, the WLAN of the wireless dial-up router is port 11th, so it cannot be flexibly used in different network environments as the wireless router.

3. Comparison of products on the market

Wireless dial-up routers are not widely used in China, and the products available in the market are also very limited. Note that some wireless dial-up routers do not support IEEE 802.11g. Compared with wireless dial-up routers, the market provides many rich wireless router products, so there is a lot of room for users to choose.

Iv. Application Scope comparison

The functional differences between the two devices determine different application scopes. The wireless dial-up router is most suitable for networking in the ADSL Internet environment, while the wireless router is most suitable for networking in the LAN mode. Because the WLAN of the wireless router is RJ45 port, and the RJ45 port is widely used in the network than the port, the wireless router is more flexible to use in a variety of network application environments.

Conclusion: Although there are many similarities between a wireless dial-up router and a wireless router, they do not mean they can be completely replaced. In different network environments, they have advantages that the other party cannot possess. In the ADSL dial-up Internet environment, we can select a wireless dial-up router for networking. In this way, not only can the ADSL Modem device be eliminated, but also the network cost can be reduced. At the same time, the reduction of the device will also reduce the probability of network failures, making it easier to maintain and manage. In other network environments, especially the LAN-based Internet access, wireless routers are of course our best choice.
