Thomson THM1200ADD

A router that transmits on two frequency bands, usually 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. This provides greater flexibility and performance as the 5 GHz band is usually less congested and offers faster speeds, while the 2.4 GHz band has better range but can be slower due to interference.

Ešte nikdy nebola rýchlosť WiFi taká dôležitá. Schválne si skúste spočítať, koľko máte doma bezdrôtovo pripojených zariadení. Určite ich nebude málo. A keď k tomu pridáte napríklad požiadavku na pohodlné streamovanie videa, on-line výučbu alebo home office, tak drvivej väčšine routerov dôjde dych. Preto je potrebné WiFi sieť nielen zrýchliť tak, aby zodpovedala štandardu WiFi 802.11ac. Čo všetko takýto štandard dokáže a čím sa líši od starších WiFi generácií?

This generation, based on the IEEE 802.11ac standard, has brought significant improvements in wireless connectivity. Operating in the 5 GHz band, it offered theoretical speeds of up to 3.5 Gbps. This generation also included advanced features such as MU-MIMO, which allows the router to communicate with multiple devices simultaneously, increasing overall network efficiency.

WPA2 is an advanced standard for securing wireless networks that offers a higher level of security than the previous WPA standard. This technology uses strong encryption and authentication to protect your Wi-Fi connection from unauthorized access. WPA2 is one of the most secure ways to ensure that your home or business wireless network is protected from threats and secure for your devices and data. Using WPA2 is important for keeping your wireless connection secure and protecting your online activity.

WPA-PSK is a variant of WPA that allows you to protect your wireless network using a pre-shared password. This password is shared between all devices that have access to the Wi-Fi network. WPA-PSK provides a basic level of security by encrypting communication between devices and accessing the network with a password. While it's not the strongest form of security, it's still an important step in ensuring that your wireless network is protected from unauthorized access.

A standard cable used to connect computers and other devices to local networks. It is essential for establishing a wired connection between devices and can offer a more stable and faster connection than wireless networks.

The IPv6 Ready designation indicates that a network device or technology is ready to implement IPv6. Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the latest version of the Internet Protocol, which was specifically designed to overcome the address space limitations of the older IPv4 protocol. Due to the exponential growth in the number of devices connected to the Internet and the need to ensure their unique addressability, IPv6 offers an almost unlimited number of unique IP addresses.

The Virtual Server feature on network devices allows you to redirect communication ports from the Internet to specific devices on your local network. This feature is often used for remote access to home, web or game servers or other services that require access from an external network. Virtual Server contributes to security by allowing detailed control over what devices and services are accessible from the Internet.

Parental controls on network devices allow parents to monitor and restrict their children's access to the Internet. Features include the ability to set time limits, block inappropriate websites and apps, and create a safer online environment. This feature is essential for keeping children safe online and gives parents more control over their children's online behaviour and access.

QoS, or quality of service, is a feature of network devices that allows network traffic to be prioritized according to the type of service, application, or device. This ensures that important applications such as VoIP (a technology that allows you to make voice calls using a broadband Internet connection instead of traditional or analog phone lines) or online gaming have enough bandwidth and low latency to run smoothly. QoS is key to optimizing network performance, especially in high network load environments.

Guest Zone is a security feature on network devices that allows you to create a separate Wi-Fi network for guests that is isolated from your main home or business network. This feature ensures that guests can access the Internet without having access to shared files, printers or other devices on the network. Guest Zone is key to protecting the network and preserving the privacy and security of sensitive data.

A DMZ, also known as a demilitarized zone, is a security concept in network devices that allows you to isolate one or more devices from the internal network while leaving them accessible from the Internet. A DMZ is often used to host public services, such as web servers or email servers, while the rest of the network remains protected.

UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is a set of network protocols that allows devices on a local network to automatically discover and communicate with each other without the need for manual setup by the user. This technology is designed to simplify connectivity and communication between different devices in a home or small office network.

A DHCP server is a device or software that manages and distributes IP addresses on a local network. When a new device connects to the network, the DHCP server automatically assigns it an available IP address from a defined range.

A DHCP client is a device that, when connected to the network, asks the DHCP server to assign an IP address. Most modern devices, including computers, smartphones and tablets, have a built-in DHCP client function.

A list of all devices on the network that have been assigned IP addresses by the DHCP server. Allows the network administrator to see what devices are currently connected to the network and what IP addresses have been assigned to them.

A feature in DHCP that allows a network administrator to reserve a specific IP address for a specific device. This means that the device will always be assigned the same IP address every time it connects to the network.

DynDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) is a service that automatically updates DNS records when the IP address of a device (such as a home router) changes. This is useful for remote access to devices that have dynamically changing IP addresses.

NO-IP is a dynamic DNS provider, which allows users to create domain names that point to dynamic IP addresses. This service is particularly useful for remote access to devices or servers that do not have a fixed IP address, as their domain name is automatically updated when the IP address changes.
