When purchasing as router for use with a wide-area, keep in mind that wide-area networking spans many different devices and services. Interface considerations will vary depending upon the type of service and the kinds and amount of traffic that will be sent over it.

Protocols are agreed upon formats for translating data between devices. Protocols determine many different aspects of the data including, error checking, compression types as well as indications of delivery and retrieval by devices. There are a variety of standard protocols from which programmers can choose. Each with its particular advantages and disadvantages; meaning that, some are simpler than others, some are more reliable, and some are faster. For the user, it is important that the device have the correct protocols in order to be able to communicate with other computers.

Internal antennas are built into the device and can not be changed or directed.
External antennas can be directed to point in different directions; this may be used to increase range of the device.
Detachable antennas are screwed into the device and can be upgraded or replaced easily.

There are many standards of modulation. The following are some of the most commonly used types.

DSSS
DSSS (Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum) is a transmission technology that combines the data signal with a higher data rate bit sequence called a chipping code. This improves noise resistance and data integrity.

OFDM
OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) transmits digital data over a radio wave by splitting a radio signal into multiple sub-signals. These are then transmitted simultaneously at different frequencies. This modulation technique reduces the amount of crosstalk in signal transmissions.

CCK
CCK (Complementary Code Keying) uses a set of 64 eight-bit code words to encode data for 5.5 and 11Mbps data rates in the 2.4GHz band of 802.11b standard. The code words have unique mathematical properties. This allows them to be correctly distinguished from one another by a receiver even in the presence of substantial noise and interference.
