Common Network Devices:

Routers

Your router is like the brain of your home network. You’ll likely have received one from your internet provider as part of your broadband package, but these are generally basic, and need to be replaced for a model designed for gaming. Essentially, the router is in control of all the internet traffic between devices on your network, serving as a central hub for every device to connect to.

Wireless or wired network adapters allow you to connect your gaming PC or laptop to your network with ease. Often more powerful than the included Wi-Fi antenna in your laptop, a wireless network adapter can be a great upgrade for an older machine or for a desktop in a room with no ethernet point.

The adaptors come in two forms – internal and external. Internal models connect via PCIe and the externals connect via USB.

NAS

Network-attached storage devices are exactly what they sound like – storage that is attached to the network. NAS units allow many devices to access the same data or save files to a centralised storage location.

Networking FAQ


What is a router and how does it work?

Routers are the brain of your home network. They control all the internet traffic, sending data to the devices on your network. You’ll likely have received one from your internet provider. However, these can often be slow and ineffective.

How can I extend my Wi-Fi range?

There are several ways to extend the range of your Wi-Fi network. For example, you could use a Mesh Wi-Fi system where several access points are placed throughout your home, allowing your devices to connect seamlessly to the strongest one based on their location. Additionally, a Wi-Fi bridge or powerline ethernet adapter can also be a great option for expanding your network range.

What is the difference between a router and a modem?

A router directs data between networks, while a modem connects a device to the internet. Your internet provider likely provided you with a combination router and modem for convenience. You can connect an aftermarket router to improve your network’s range and speed.
