I purchased this router for my daughter who lives in an apartment complex. There are tons of other routers that are in the same complex.
This router was affordable, easy to configure and has great range. There are lots of great options available too.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What kinda router do I need to connect to a hot spot wireless

I’m not sure I understand the question exactly. Are you trying to connect to a ‘hot spot’ wireless like what’s available in Starbucks and other public establishments? If that’s the case you only need to have a WiFi device like a laptop, phone, etc.

If you’re looking to creature your own wireless ‘hot spot’ then you’d need to have a router and high speed internet connection. It’ll be either DSL or Cable Modem depending on what’s available in your area. Not all wireless routers have the same capabilities. Most routers nowadays have what’s called a ‘guest’ network you can configure. This is typically used for situations like your kids friends come over and want to get online. You’re providing them a way to connect but at the same time you’re separating those devices from the ones you use.

In addition there are some routers that have the capability to provide a ‘guest’ network and a configuration that allows you to charge for it. This is similar to what you have when you go to some hotels, airports, and other places that don’t provide free internet or if they do they also have a higher tier internet for a cost.

I hope this helps a bit.

What is a router

A router is a hardware device used in addition to your DSL or Cable Modem to connect Devices in your home to the internet. That’s the general answer for a Router. There are more technical details around what it can do, how they’re connected, options available, etc. There are things to consider when purchasing a router too. I recommend doing your research or talk with one of the Best Buy folks. Don’t be afraid to ask them who in the store is the most knowledgeable too. They’re all very helpful but not everyone can be a technical specialist in every area.
