Router types

Wireless (Wi-Fi) router

Wireless routers provide Wi-Fi access to smartphones, laptops, and other devices with Wi-Fi network capabilities. Also, they may provide standard Ethernet routing for a small number of wired network devices. Some Wi-Fi routers can act as a combination router and modem, converting an incoming broadband signal from your ISP.

Brouter

Short for bridge router, a brouter is a networking device that serves as both a bridge and a router.

Core router

A core router is a router in a computer network that routes data within a network, but not between networks.

How far can a wireless router reach?

The typical range for a wireless router is about 150 feet when the connection is indoors and up to 300 feet outdoors. That being said, obstructions such as walls and other objects can reduce the indoor range to 75% of maximum distance or less.
