1. You can use it anywhere in your home or office

In most instances, you can use the router (Wi-Fi) anywhere in your home. Sometimes, you will even get a connection outside on a sunny day.

2. They are easy and great for your friends and family

If you have guests over, you can easily give them access to your Wi-Fi for them to use on their device.

3. Use multiple devices or computers at a time

With your wireless router set up, you can have several devices and computers connected to it simultaneously. This is better than a modem which allows you to only use one computer at one time.

4. Connect using video game consoles including Nintendo Wii, PS3, XBox…

Your PlayStation 3, Wii, XBox and other consoles have Wi-Fi built in so you can wirelessly play online and communicate with friends, family or complete strangers.

5. No wires equal no mess

No one likes tangled wires. When using Wi-Fi on your laptop, you eliminate the mess and clutter commonly caused by wired routers.

6. Wireless routers are cheap

Wireless connections cost as little $5-10 and some broadband companies like Sky give you free wireless routers with their packages. Typically, wireless networks are cheaper to install and maintain as opposed to wired networks.

7. Wireless routers are secure

Oftentimes we hear about people “hacking” wireless networks and accessing Internet connection. But as long as you have a WPA/WEP password setup you won’t need to worry about hackers trying to steal your wireless connection.

8. Quickly and easily share photos, media, and data with others on your network

A wireless router easily allows you to send files to others on your network.

9. You are able to connect to the Internet using multiple devices

Connect using your laptop, desktop, iPhone, Blackberry — you can even use your printer wirelessly.

10. Don’t worry about wires when reordering your home

If you plan to reorder things in your house, you don’t need to worry about rearranging ethernet cables and stapling them to your floor borders.
