Pretty Fly for a Wi-Fi: ADSL Wireless Modems and Routers

Forget about wires and cables. Gone are the days when you need a separate wired modem, router, firewall, or a VoIP device. You can now benefit from multitasking devices, minimising the puzzling array of electronic devices you need and reducing the amount of the pasta-like chaos of cables. Most all, you save money and space!

ADSL wireless routers and modems are probably the most common type of both home and small office network devices available today. They’re always a necessity when multiple devices need to share one internet connection. They also support technologies that can enhance the internal and external performance of your network.

Choosing the right ADSL modem or router is more important than you realise. After all, you’re going to use it every day for all your tasks and work. If you find your way to Warcom, it’s because you want the best ADSL products. Reliability and quality is what we aim for. You need modems and routers that take full advantage of that speed and have the features you require. We’ve got you covered. We offer a wide selection ADSL routers from leading creators including TP-Link, ASUS, Cisco and DrayTek.

Here are some useful tips on choosing the best modems and routers.

Speed Ratings

Wireless routers and modems typically advertise their speed in megabits per second (Mbps). Consider the actual performance you will get when you use the item and don’t make judgement based on ads.

Reliable models

There’s still strength in numbers! Odds are, if many people are buying that specific product, it’s obviously serving their needs. Check our modems and routers to start building your wireless router and modem shortlist if you want to run with the pack.

Your budget

You may still find a quality device with all the features you need even if it’s not the current model. Shop around our site and you’re more likely to get the best value for your money.

We can give you samples! Here are few ADSL modem routers that may help you decide.

ADSL Modem Router Interfaces!

I’m sure just about every techy out there can relate to trying to walk a friend or family member *grown* through configuring their new adsl modem and having to try and remember what the interface actually looks like!

Thankfully I’ve recently discovered that several adsl modem and router companies have been kind enough to mirror their modem & router interfaces and put them up online.

If you head over to the following site you will find the modem/configuration pages for brands such as draytek, netcomm, linksys, netgear, tp-link

Grab an Antenna Upgrade with your DrayTek or Billion !

Are you struggling for signal strength on your network? Does that trip out to the woodshed always drop your connection?

Well here is the solution!

Introducing Warcom’s antenna upgrade bundle, available with any modem/router purchase!

e1b145ad4f5aec786bac1eca8ecc4113 Grab an Antenna Upgrade with your DrayTek or Billion !

All of our wireless routers will include standard antennas. These are usually 2dBi antennas and can be sufficient for a few connections in a smaller household, without any brick walls. 2dBi antennas are generally capable of a 20 meter range, with a clear line of sight.

The first upgrade on offer is a 5dBi antenna upgrade. 5dBi antennas offer around double the preformance of the standard antennas and are generally suitable for a larger house, or just to gain a little more signal strength in the corners of your house. For an outlay of around $7.00 per antenna (when bundled with your modem), you can’t really go wrong with this upgrade, no matter your situation.

The other upgrade we offer is the flagship 7dBi antenna, which is the largest size on offer for a simple and direct attachment to the router itself. With a range of up to 100 meters (clear line of sight), these badboys will get you to the woodshed and back! If you live in a several story house, have some brick walls here and there or are just struggling with good signal, we recommend these.

All of our antenna upgrades come with the required amount of antennas – For example a Billion 7401VGP R3 will only include a single antenna in the upgrade, while a Billion 7800N or DrayTek 2820Vn will include all three antennas for your upgrade. The standard 2dBi antennas are also included with the upgrade.

d45d8cce17bd28ae1e3ce554fabc5516 Grab an Antenna Upgrade with your DrayTek or Billion !

To take advantage of these offers, simple add the “antenna upgraded” product to your cart and proceed through the checkout. You may notice not all of our modem/routers have the antenna upgrade as an option. If you find one of these that you would like to order as an upgrade, please contact us at service@warcom.com.au and we will organise a bundle price for you.

Thanks!
