Home Broadband

In this category you’ll find all the products you need to build a wired or wireless network to connect your PCs to the internet, such as modems and routers, plus switches and cables for larger networks. Choose a wireless network for convenience or a wired network for higher speed, reliability and security. Premium routers offer more speed, coverage, and features than the simple devices often provided by the broadband company.

Wireless BE (WiFi 7) Products

Wi-Fi 7 features will expand upon the innovation of Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E to not only enable faster speeds, but dramatically improve responsiveness and reliability for future usages that demand extreme consistency and precision. Wi-Fi 7 enables significantly faster speeds by packing more data into each transmission. 320 MHz channels are twice the size of previous Wi-Fi generations—which is somewhat like using a semi-truck to move boxes, compared to a moving van

Broadband Routers - Wired

Wired routers operate in much the same way as a wireless router, just with the absence of the inbuilt wireless access point. This usually means is is a router more designed for professional use, where greater control is required and so separate access points will be used and connected to the router. Wired routers may also have a greater focus on security offering more advanced firewalls than this found in all-in-one models aimed at home use.
