What is a Business Router?
A router is a device that connects two or more network devices. It acts as a gateway between networks. It is an intelligent network device that reads the address in each data packet and then decides how to transmit it.

It is the largest and most powerful network router from the Internet backbone. A business router usually provides connections for typical home and office networks.

What Factors Should Be Considered When Choosing a Business Router?
There are a few factors to consider when choosing the right business router for small businesses:
1)Wired and Wireless Router Types
A wired router connects directly to a computer via a cable. The wireless router transmits data directly to computers and other electronic devices via radio signals.

2)Single-band/Dual-band/Tri-band
Single-band router has one 2.4GHz band. The Dual-band router has 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz bands. It allows users to separate the traffic and avoid unnecessary congestion. Three-band routers combine one 2.4 GHz and two 5.0 GHz bands.

3)WAN and LAN Ports
A wide area network (WAN) port is used to provide Internet access by connecting with a modem or wireless broadband to all the connected routers. A local Area Network (LAN ) port connects routers to all other devices and shares the same IP network.
4)Speed
It recommends choosing a router that supports the latest standards, such as the 802.11ac protocol. And newer technology implements the 802.11ax version, which brings more speed and a wider range.

5)Quality of Service (QoS)
Business router offers a quality of service (QoS) feature that lets users prioritize network traffic, which can change the overall performance of a network service.

6)Content Control
The business router has a content-filtering and management function. It allows users to block sites based on categories.

7)VPN Security
The business router has a VPN security feature. It allows users to securely connect, access and upload files onto the network.
