what kind of wireless router is best for use with fiber optic cable?
I know that some wireless routers need for a DSL modem to operate which is fine, but not with my DSL line optical fiber.
I'm assuming you have an adapter to convert the fiber cabling (RJ45). Some DSL modems are also wireless routers, and not work on your system, but any of the major brands of wireless routers work for you. You will be able to configure the WAN side of router to operate with a fixed IP network or a style of DHCP in the network. Since you are going wireless, just make sure match all parties.

Router
Features
Firewall
Firewalls are ideal for home networks. Assist in computer protection for consumption by the stagnation of efforts destructive other official sites and potential hackers. This software or hardware filters of information which passes through the Internet, the information pavilion will not let go. You can find some models in:
VPN Pass through
Through the routers VPN feature allows traffic between the endpoints and is not compatible with one end. This routers feature is ideal for domestic or office facilities are less expensive than a router with VPN support ends.
Server DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) can be implemented for Windows-based system. The server automatically assigns an IP address of the stack Software TCP / IP.
Wireless Access Point
The performance of the network depends on the signal strength of wireless access point. Before placement, finding the exact location of where you give the maximum range of the network.
DSL
Digital Subscriber Line modems are faster regular modems that can use existing phone lines. The two phone lines and Internet for phone calls can be used simultaneously.
Voice over IP
VoIP routers have two options for wireless mobile networks and adapters terminal. With this feature the network can access the Internet and voice communications.
Protocols
These are the formats transfer data between different devices. The protocols determine the various aspects of data and compression types, delivery and recovery Aircraft and error checking. The protocols standards differ in their different characteristics, so in order to communicate with other computers correct protocols must be selected.
Internet Protocol (IP) allows computers to process unique.
When used with the transport control protocol, called TCP / IP.
The new IP version 6 is called IPv6. This version addresses 16 bytes long.
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol assigns dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network.
Routing Protocols
information packets must be transmitted by a series of routers to reach its destination. Latest routers automatically exchange routing information with routers others through the use of routing protocols.
Although the configuration of the router on your own, you have to choose what type of routing protocol has to install and configure.
RIP version-1 is a dynamic routing protocol and automatic tables of data on their own, thus Manual entries are not necessary.
Encryption
This function sets up the VPN, the encryption modules integration Advanced hardware and network modules.
Data Encryption Standard – applies 56-bit 64-bit block of data. This is the most widely used encryption standard. A unique key is used, it is very difficult to break.
Triple DES (3DES) – applies 3 buttons at once to make it more difficult to break the code.
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) will be the next encryption standard for commercial transactions in the private sector.
MD5
SHA-1
Modulation
There are many standards of modulation. The common types are:
QAM: Quadrature Amplitude Modulation, a dominant modulation technique for high-speed digital signals.
CCK: Introduction Code of courtesy is a modulation scheme to operate in data speeds up to 11Mbps in the RF band.
OFDM: multiplexing orthogonal frequency division modulation is used for even higher speeds of 54Mbps.
DSSS Sequence Spread Spectrum direct use broadband signals that are not easy to detect and resist attempts of interference.
Security
Today no home and office network is secure. To counter the efforts of hackers hackers, find a good security features incorporated. This will ensure that the system slows down, the range of your wireless network are not able to view your files, emails, instant messages, IDs and passwords. According to the security features can also block spams, illegal activities with your Internet connection and prevent loading of dangerous software.
However, this does not mean that your network is completely safe.
Some of that you can take:
Enable WEP, wired equivalent privacy encryption provides security for WLANs. The WEP key to encrypt the data stream.
Turning on WPA encryption. The Wi-Fi Protected adds authentication and WEP encryption features described above.
TKIP, Temporal Key Integrity Protocol covers the weaknesses of WEP encryption.
WPA2 security is the most recent and provides a high level of protection.
Enable MAC Wireless.
WEP Encryption Length
WEP is based on a combination of secret keys generated by the user and the value system. The figurehead and encrypts the data transferred between access points and clients. There are two versions:
Version supported previous 40-bit key length is 40 bits and 24 additional bits of data generated by the system, so a total of 64 bits.
Easy Decoding 40-bit WEP encouraged vendors to go to 128-bit encryption. key 128-bit length of 104 bits.
Antenna Type
The omni directional routers 360 points of sale across the router. Place them so that you get the signal radiation.
External antennas can add strength significantly, thus offering a wider range and improved network performance compared to the performance of integrated antennas.
Disable removable antennas 802.11a communications lowest to connect and disconnect. By joining the antenna the lower band is enabled. If can be screwed into the device and can be easily upgraded.
The third type is the internal antenna built. These antennas are built, and can not be changed or treated.
Trade name
The wireless routers are still evolving, and at this stage, children will do well to join a brand. Switching between brands can lead to compatibility problems. The Linksys and Netgear are among wireless the few companies that have higher ratings Router Wireless, a company can achieve.
Linksys
Linksys wireless routers are easy to install and are reputed to give a good performance and signal range. The different features that the router supports are protection against piracy through NAT, VPN, and can encode all wireless transmissions. Most of its models have excellent performance and functions very useful support. Some features are the server security capabilities and routing, MAC address filtering and virtual server support. Most models are easy to configure with the browser-based configuration.
Netgear
Netgear wireless routers are not only superior, but also a good signal and range. Security features are good and are served with WPA-PSK, WEP (128 bits). range of markets Netgear wireless router range for home networks and business networks. selling factors are ease of use, reliability, quality and safety.
Apple
Customers loyal to the brand can go into wireless routers mark, however, are more expensive than the models of other brands with features similar. Security features and support are good.
