WPC / ETA Approval is mandatory for

WiFi Router

A Wi-Fi router is a fundamental networking device that plays a central role in providing wireless internet connectivity to homes and businesses. This device transmits data from a wired broadband connection and distributes it wirelessly to various Wi-Fi-enabled devices, such as smartphones, laptops, tablets and smart home gadgets. Wi-Fi routers use radio waves to create a local area network (LAN), enabling multiple devices to connect and access the internet simultaneously. These routers often come with configurable settings, allowing users to set up wireless networks with custom names and passwords.

They offer various features, including multiple frequency bands, security protocols and advanced settings for optimizing network performance. Wi-Fi routers have become an essential part of modern life, enabling the wireless connectivity that drives productivity, entertainment and communication across the digital landscape. They provide the foundation for our interconnected world, ensuring that we can stay online and connected virtually anywhere in our homes or offices.
