Wired Routers & Gateways
Wired routers connect to other networked devices with Ethernet cable, providing reliable and straightforward connections at a bandwidth of about 10 Mbps for basic 10BaseT technology, or 100 Mbps for Fast Ethernet, and 1000 Mbps for Gigabit Ethernet technology. The run length of individual Ethernet cables is limited to roughly 100 meters, but Ethernet can be bridged to easily network entire schools or office buildings. Wired routers offer affordability and ease of use.
