How to buy a wireless router for professional use 

• We all know that a wireless router is one of the
  basic requirements of any office or home these
  days. For running a business smoothly you need
  fastest way of communication and for
  this, internet is the only way. As you can easily
  send your business proposals to other clients and
  even you can make easy announcement to staff at
  your office when you are away from your office. 
  Not only for communication internet is also
  mandatory for promoting your business, watching
  latest news and business trends, and taking a
  view of competition policy etc. 
• So, if you need an internet connection, then you
  also need a router for proper flow of information
  and communication. But choosing it is not as easy
  as you think because a router should be
  compatible according to business needs. So, here
  we will learn that how you should buy it for
  professional use or which features you should
  look if you are buying it for professional use. 
• First of all, you need to check that how many
  computers or devices you need to connect to it.
  If you need to connect less or maybe 6 to 8
  computers, then a small professional wireless
  router can work easily. These routers can provide
  Wi-Fi coverage of 1500 to 2000 square foot with
  two storey office space. They have four Ethernet
  ports.  
• But if you are required to connect more than a
  dozen computers and devices, then you
  need something more than a simple router. You may
  consider a VPN router or firewall as they have
  integrated virtual private server and also offers
  some more advanced features. 
• You can also choose a UTM which is unified threat
  management gateway as these routers include
  advanced features and most of them have 4 to 8
  Ethernet ports. 
• Next factor you need to consider is wireless
  standards and features. Each router has
  different speed of performance. So in that
  case, you at least need an 802.11n speed
  router. You should also consider that whether you
  are buying a single band router, a dual band
  router or a tri band router.

• Here one important point that you need to
  consider is DMZ port. If there is a server or any
  other device that also need direct access to the
  internet, then you must choose a firewall that
  has DMZ port. 
• Now we discuss about the VPN server. As we know
  that almost every operating system and mobile
  phones support PPTP with a built in VPN client,
  but still, its having a lack of security as a
  result connectivity issue can arise. So layer 2
  tunneling protocol (L2TP) has better security
  than PPTP. Another thing you need to consider is
  SSL, as the secure socket layer protocol enables
  users to connect via a web browser from a remote
  location. If you wish, you can install a small
  plug-in via browser to make easy tunneling of a
  web browsing by a user. Some other things you
  need to consider are given below. 
• Select an open VPN as it ensure more secure and
  reliable internet connections. It should have a
  USB port to share files or printers. It should
  ensure quality of service support to prioritize
  traffic. It will be an added benefit if it is
  having a feature to block specific sites or
  irrelevant sites for your profession, yet its
  not a very important consideration. 
• Now you have understood that what kind
  of wireless router you need for your professional
  use. So, when you go for buying a wireless router
  just discussed about the above features with the
  salesman.
