Then, there’s a multitude of LAN ports — local area network connections that allow you to wire everything, from your Xbox to your DVR, to the Internet. Looking for the magical wireless device? That’s usually the antenna flanking the modem, operated often at radio frequencies of both 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz to accommodate all devices without interference (thus the term “dual-band” router).

By taking in the cable or DSL information through a WAN connection, the router directs the information flowing through to ensure that all of the data is transmitted to the various devices connected to the Internet at any given time. The router is able to do that by individually assigning local ISPs to every comp
