SOHO broadband routers are generally inexpensive, simple in functions, and easy to configure and use. This type of router is often used for Internet sharing in the home or small office. Some netizens may have little knowledge about the network and do not know how to configure it. Therefore, I plan to write a more systematic, detailed, and complete article on SOHO Broadband Router configuration.

I. How to configure SOHO broadband Routers
