A SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) router is made to provide network connections and security for small offices or home setups. These routers usually have Wi-Fi, so multiple devices can connect wirelessly, which is important for giving internet access to laptops, smartphones, and other wireless gadgets. They also have several Ethernet ports for wired connections, which are great for desktop computers, printers, and other devices that need a stable and fast connection. A built-in firewall helps keep the network safe from unauthorized access and cyber threats by monitoring and blocking suspicious activities. VPN support allows secure remote access to the network, which is useful for employees working from home or accessing the office network while traveling. SOHO routers often come with remote management features, letting users configure and monitor the router settings from anywhere, making troubleshooting and adjustments easier without being physically present.
