Netgear Router Setup without Modem
In recent years Wi-Fi routers are fast becoming very popular devices for internet user’s homes and offices to connect various devices with the internet, but most common men even now days are not able to understand their utility for their home or office.
This is a fact that a large number of internet users who are beginners, do not even realize the benefits of a Wi-Fi router over a wired modem.
In simple words, a Wi-Fi router can connect various devices within other networks by forwarding data packets between them. This data could be easily transferred between devices connected to the cyber world (internet).
In General terms, a router is assigned a local IP address and then this router assigns the same class IP addresses to every device connected to the home or office network.
This ensures that the data reached its correct place, in spite of data being lost within the home network. Just like a postman with limited information, could easily deliver a product to the wrong house.
Thus a Wi-Fi router ensures that every electronic device like PC, Laptop, or Tablet has a unique number so that the data packet reaches the correct address.
