What is a home router?

A home router is a home Wi-Fi router that can turn the inside of a building into a Wi-Fi Internet area by simply plugging the power cord into an outlet.

To connect to the Internet, use a mobile phone / mobile line such as 5G or 4G LTE / WiMAX 2+ of the mobile phone.

NTT DoCoMo's home router "home 5G"

Since it is a router, multiple terminals that connect to Wi-Fi can use the Internet connection via this device. For example, in the case of DoCoMo's home 5G, the maximum downlink speed is 4.2 Gbps, which is shared by the number of connected devices.

The difference from a fixed line router is that in the case of a fixed line, there is basically an ONU (optical network unit), there is an Internet line on the WAN side, and the router is connected to that point, whereas in a home router, the line device And the router itself will be integrated.

In the home router, the device that connects to the line and the device that distributes by Wi-Fi are integrated, and you can complete the connection to the WAN and the construction of the LAN with one unit. Really, if you have one device, you can easily create a Wi-Fi Internet connection environment by simply "connecting the power to an outlet".

If you write this, a home router seems to be very similar to a mobile router. The difference between a home router and a mobile router is that the home router basically "can only be used with the registered address".

You can take your mobile router anywhere, but a home router is a device that uses a mobile phone line such as 5G or 4G LTE for the WAN side line, but you cannot take it outdoors and use it.
