It refers to generations of WiFi technology that have been developed over time to improve the speed, range and reliability of wireless networks. Each generation has its own specific features and benefits, and is defined by its IEEE 802.11 standard.

Frequency bands on which the router transmits WiFi signal. Commonly used bands include 2.4 GHz (suitable for greater coverage) and 5 GHz (suitable for higher speed and less interference).

Standards and protocols that the router supports for WiFi communication. This includes various versions of the IEEE 802.11 standard, such as 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, 802.11ac and 802.11ax.

A connector on a router or modem that is used to connect to a wider area network (WAN), such as an ISP. This connector typically uses the same type of RJ-45 as LAN connectors, but is designed to connect the device to an external network.

A connector that physically connects the device to the local area network (LAN) using a cable. This is usually an RJ-45 connector, which is common for Ethernet cables.

Indicates the total number of external antennas that are connected to the device, often WiFi routers or access points. External antennas can be adjusted or rotated to optimize signal coverage in certain areas.

This is the maximum speed at which the LAN port of the router can transfer data between devices on the local network. Typical speeds include 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet) and 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet).

NAT, or Network Address Translation, is a key technology that allows multiple devices on a local network to share a single public IP address for Internet access. This technology not only makes efficient use of the limited number of available public IP addresses, but also increases network security by hiding the internal IP addresses of devices from the outside world. NAT is essential for managing network traffic and ensuring seamless Internet connectivity in homes and businesses.

This is a set of protocols and techniques designed to secure data transmitted over WiFi wireless networks. Different encryption methods offer different levels of security to protect against unauthorized access and misuse.

WiFi routers can be categorized by different types based on frequency bands, speed, range and other technical specifications. The most common types include single-band (frequency of only 2.4 GHz), dual-band (frequency of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), tri-band (one 2.4 GHz and two 5 GHz), and quad-band (frequency can be up to 6 GHz) routers.
