Routers are the foundation of your home network. They control the
overall speed and range of your wired and wireless internet connection.
Like cars, they come in all shapes, sizes and speeds. If you experience
regular disconnections, slow downloads and buffering or lag during
gameplay then you may need a faster router with features like
wireless AC, Smart Connect or MU-MIMO.

There is a physical difference in the connection type between cable, fibre and ADSL/VDSL (or phoneline connection).

Cable or fibre subscribers will receive a separate modem and wireless router from the ISP.
