The Cisco Corporation makes wireless routers that connect to the Internet and then send RF signals to devices such as laptops or smart phones. The bandwidth of the router is the measurement of how much data is actually received by the satellite devices. The bandwidth of the Cisco router can be increased by upgrading the antenna, positioning the router in a specific location or making sure all the wireless equipment is from Cisco, and not a third party company.

Howto Maximize Bandwidth in Cisco Routers?1. Replace the antenna on the Cisco wireless router from the factory standard omnidirectional antenna to a unidirectional antenna. Firmly grip the existing antenna at the base and twist counter-clockwise until the antenna disconnects. Place the base of the new antenna at the connection point of the router and twist clockwise.
2. Angle the oscillating tip of the antenna towards the device that is using the internet, or the room in which the device is primarily used. Turn off the Cisco router and then restart it ten seconds later. Wait for device to start receiving new signal.
3. Reposition the Cisco router in an environment where many devices in multiple areas need access. Keep the router as high up in the room as possible, on a high shelf or cabinet. Keep the router away from obstructions, and never inside a drawer or enclosure, to ensure the signal is being transmitted as powerfully as possible.
4. Use only Cisco wireless cards (external and internal) in the devices being used for Internet access. Replace the card in the computers to any Cisco brand products, as the Cisco equipment is built to work together.Depending on your business and your networking plans, you can choose from routers that include different capabilities. These can include networking basics such as: Firewall: Specialized software that examines incoming data and protects your business network against attacksVirtual Private Network (VPN): A way to allow remote employees to safely access your network remotelyIP Phone network: Combine your company's computer and telephone network, using voice and conferencing technology, to simplify and unify your communications
Switches are used to connect multiple devices on the same network within a building or campus. For example, a switch can connect your computers, printers and servers, creating a network of shared resources. The switch, one aspect of your networking basics, would serve as a controller, allowing the various devices to share information and talk to each other. Through information sharing and resource allocation, switches save you money and increase productivity.
There are two basic types of switches to choose from as part of your networking basics: managed and unmanaged. An unmanaged switch works out of the box and does not allow you to make changes. Home-networking equipment typically offers unmanaged switches.A managed switch allows you access to program it. This provides greater flexibility to your networking basics because the switch can be monitored and adjusted locally or remotely to give you control over network traffic, and who has access to your network.
