Tips for Identifying a Wireless Router
Nintendo 3DS, Wii U
If you aren't sure if you have a wireless router, try using the following tips to help determine if the device you have is a wireless router or not.
- Wireless routers often have some type of broadcast antenna. If the device doesn't have one, then it may be a wired router or a modem.
- In most cases a router will have four or more ports on the back. If the device has three or fewer ports, it is likely a modem and not a wireless router.
- Most wireless routers will have a Wi-Fi indicator light that blinks when it is broadcasting a signal.
- You can try searching online for the brand name and model number of your device. The search results may indicate if the device is a wireless router or not.
Please contact the person or company that set up your network if you require additional assistance determining if you have a wireless router.
