Two points to be aware of when introducing a home router

"Home routers" that share 4G / 5G lines at home via Wi-Fi are popular. The 5G line area is still in the development stage, but even with a 4G line, you can get a reasonable speed, no construction work or wiring is required, and you can build a comfortable home wireless environment just by connecting it to an outlet and installing it near the window. But home routers aren't all-purpose. If your home is in a 5G area, you will be able to access high-speed Internet over 200 and 300 Mbps on an effective basis, but there are two weak points that you should understand before introducing.

  ホームルーターを導入するなら注意したい、2つのポイント

An example of a home router, DoCoMo "home 5G" One of them is "high PING value". The PING value is a numerical value of the time required to send and receive data, and represents the response and response speed of the line. A lower value means better response speed / response, but home routers using 4G / 5G lines are slightly higher than fiber optic lines. If you use content that requires low latency, such as FPS online games, you should be prepared for a disadvantage. It is also necessary to understand that it cannot be used at any address other than the registered address. As of February 2022, all home routers affiliated with the three major carriers (docomo, au, Softbank) are required to be used at the registered address, so they can only be used at home (you can change your address). Please note that you cannot carry it like a mobile router, as you may be penalized as a breach of contract if you use it on the move.
