Wired Routers
Wired routers operate in much the same way as a wireless router, just with the absence of the inbuilt wireless access point. This usually means is is a router more designed for professional use, where greater control is required and so separate access points will be used and connected to the router. Wired routers may also have a greater focus on security offering more advanced firewalls than this found in all-in-one models aimed at home use.
