Modem + router, or ADSL modem with Wi-Fi?
Hi! My home internet connection is through a telephone line. Accordingly, I have a modem TP-LINK TD-8816. And I have a question, can I buy a wireless router TP-Link TL-WR940N or other similar routers? That is to connect my modem and router and get Wi-Fi throughout the house. Or do not bother with wires, and buy a Wireless ADSL Modem TP-Link TD-W8961N or similar. I hope I have correctly stated my problem). And another thing, which of these options is better modem + router or immediately ADSL modem. Where will be the speed and catch better. Thank you!
Answer:
Hi. Yes, the question is well described, everything is clear. Both options are working. That is, you can just buy some wi-fi router, connect it to your modem, and everything will work. Or you can just change ADSL to a new one with wi-fi support. As for the speed and signal of the Wi-Fi network, I think there will be no difference. It all depends on the device you buy, well, and the speed of the provider.
More correctly, I think, to buy a new modem that can distribute the Internet over wi-fi. Just so there will be fewer devices and wires. And the fewer devices, the fewer different problems with their work.
It’s up to you to decide how you like it.
