Wireless routers are the backbone of a home network and play an increasingly important role in network setups for businesses. When connected to a modem, Wi$-$Fi routers create the home network connection and deliver Internet connectivity to tablets, smartphones, computers, and smart home devices.

Most wireless routers available today are dual$-$band, meaning they communicate with connected devices on two different frequencies. A dual$-$band router essentially gives users two wireless networks running through the home. The $2\mathrm{.}4$ GHz frequency is ideal for smaller data transfers at a longer range; data at that frequency can pass through drywall and between floors. The $5$ GHz frequency can transfer larger files faster at closer range. You might also designate one of the networks for guest use.

There are so many different options out there for SOHO routers! Please find $3$ wireless routers and compare them. Include links to the products themselves and summarize your findings on each router. At the end of your post, describe which one out of the $3$ you would purchase to use for your home use, and which one you would use for a business. Be sure to explain why.
