Routers and Bridges

Whether you are building, expanding, or administering a network, you probably need routers and bridges. Routers and bridges are like traffic lights and street signs in an especially complex city. Think of the city as a metaphor for a network. Without these necessary public amenities, there’d be chaos. At best, there’d be a deadlock, and no one would be able to move...

Routers and bridges are those traffic lights and street signs, but for network data. These devices control the flow of data so it can rapidly reach its destination without causing delays for other information streams. In short, they prevent network traffic jams.

In a nutshell, routers read the addresses of data packets and then forward—or route—them to their destination. Routers often work with multiple networks at one time. Like routers, bridges connect devices and route data in a network. They’re also capable of splitting one network into two. Routers and bridges connect to a network either wirelessly or with a cable.

Our lineup includes cutting-edge models from the most recognizable brands in the industry. Some of our featured products are rugged enough to be used outside. Many include mobile connectivity for a wide range of communications standards, including 3G and 4G. Their browser- or mobile app-based configuration pages are sophisticated enough for even the most discerning networking administrators.

If you’re looking for business-grade routers and bridges that feature the latest connectivity technologies—such as Wi-Fi 6 / IEEE 802.11ax—you’re in the right place. Our Wi-Fi 6-compatible products offer absurdly fast network speeds to ensure you’re getting the best signal the industry has to offer. If your company demands only the fastest Internet speeds, our equipment is sure to keep up. With our routers and bridges, lag will be an issue of the past.

You’ll need to make a few decisions before choosing a router. For example, does it need to be compatible with broadband or fast Ethernet? How high should its data transfer rate be? How many Ethernet ports does it need to have? How much flash memory is enough?

Maybe you already know the answers to these questions, in which case we have a treat for you: dozens of advanced search filters. Using these, you can narrow down your search quicker than you ever thought possible. You can sort by all the aforementioned features and more. Looking for a specific cellular enhancement protocol? Need a certain chassis form factor? How about a certain networking protocol? Whatever you need, we make it easy to find.
