Faster Speeds And Better Connectivity With ADSL Routers

By Bob Hobson

Naysayers might predict that Americans are becoming addicted to the internet. However, in terms of any other type of addiction, including television, the internet surely comes out on top. It is a tool that allows us to communicate with friends and family. It is a huge reference library that we can universally access through a few taps of the keyboard. It is an interactive form of entertainment that engages us to respond to what we saw or read and get our voices heard. It is constantly redefining modern living. If you do not yet have permanent access to the internet, you may not yet realize that you are missing out. However, with just a computer and one of the ADSL routers, you can be on the Internet in no time.

Depending on where you are and to whom you speak, ADSL routers are either known by that name or as DSL modems. It is really a matter of semantics to all but the technical expert. Both are devices that allow your computer to hook up to the internet using the existing infrastructure in your house, in this case, your phone line.

You will not want to use the net if you have to wait more than twenty seconds for any given page to load. This was definitely the case with older internet modems, known as dial up or voiceband modems. They operated at speeds of fifty-six kilobits per second or less.

In addition to their incredible speed, ADSL routers also allow you to use your telephone while on the internet, another feature that was not previous available in dial up modems.

The high end would truly be considered lightning speed. You should be able to watch any type of video online that you want to and have all but the most graphic heavy webpages (think luxury car sites) load in an instant.

However, ADSL routers transfer their information at much, much higher frequency, twenty-five kilohertz to one megahertz. Different frequencies can use the same line simultaneously, thereby enabling you to call customer support while still logged into the internet.

All you need to do is make sure that you DSL filters are enabled when you are installing your router to ensure that this service works properly.

Once you see just how great a tool an ADSL router is for getting you hooked up to the internet, you will want to hook your computer up with one. This is also fairly easy. Some faster, newer computers come with an internal router. Most, however, need an external one. You plug it into a power source, a phone jack, and your computer. Then you configure it to your system and your ADSL router should have you exploring the internet in no time.
