Router

Routers in Bangladesh

A router is the box that shares one internet line with the phones, the television, the cameras, and the computers in a building. The line itself comes from your ISP. The router only spreads it. People shop this page when the modem’s own wireless cannot reach the back rooms, or when a growing house needs a router sized for more than a few phones.

A pocket router is the small one you carry, or a backup when the home line drops. A WiFi adapter only joins a single computer to a network that already exists. Buying either of those does not fix a flat the main router cannot cover. Cover the flat from this page.

JananiMart BD lists home and small-office routers from names on Shop by brands, including TP-Link, Tenda, Mercusys, and Cudy. The mark on the box does not tell you the coverage of that model. Read the band, the WAN port, and the speed written on the listing.

Advantages of a separate router

Reach past the room with the modem

Brick and concrete cut a signal more than the box art suggests. A router placed nearer the center of the home often does more than a taller antenna in the corner. If you already know the dead room, say so when you ask about a listing.

Two bands instead of one crowded one

Dual-band means the older 2.4 GHz band and a 5 GHz band. The older band travels further and is crowded in a Dhaka building full of other routers. The 5 GHz band is quicker nearby and fades sooner through walls. A phone that can use 5 GHz should. A far IP camera that can only hold 2.4 GHz will stay there, and that is normal. A router that is 2.4 GHz only puts everything on the crowded band.

Room for devices that stay awake

Phones are the obvious count. Cameras, a TV box, and a desktop stay connected all day and they matter more. An IP camera that drops off Wi-Fi is often a router that was sized for three phones. Leave room above the phones you carry.

A WAN port that matches the line you have

Most home lines use an ordinary Ethernet WAN port. A router bought for a different uplink will sit there and do nothing useful. Mention the ISP modem when you write to us. Two routers with the same brand name do not always take the same incoming cable. A second router beside a modem that is already routing can also fight over addresses. That is a setup question, worth asking before you add a box to a line that already works in one room.

What the large number on the box means

The wireless maximum on a carton is a test figure. It is not the speed your ISP sold you, and it is not the speed you will see through two brick walls. If the line is slow in the room where the modem sits, a new router will not make the line faster. It can only share that line more evenly and push it further. If the line is fine in one room and useless in another, then the router and its position are the right things to change.
