What is wireless broadband?

Wireless broadband lets you connect to the internet without needing to plug your device into a socket. No cables, no clutter, just great Wi-Fi. You connect through a wireless router, giving you fast, flexible access to the internet.


At TalkTalk, our wireless broadband comes as part-fibre or Full Fibre broadband, so you can pick the speed that suits your home - from 65 Mbps to 900 Mbps.

How does a wireless broadband router work? 

A wireless broadband router takes your broadband connection and turns it into a Wi-Fi signal. It sends that signal through radio waves, making it super-fast and easy for your devices to get online, no cables needed. Just smooth, seamless internet throughout your home.


With TalkTalk broadband, you’ll get a Wi-Fi Hub that’s built to reach those tricky corners of your home. And with TalkTalk Full Fibre broadband, you get our Hub 3 as standard, packed with award-winning tech for stronger, faster connections across more devices.

Why choose a wireless router?

A wireless broadband router lets you connect to the internet from anywhere in your home – no messy cables, no staying tethered to one spot. It’s fast, flexible and perfect for busy households.

  • Easy setup - just plug in and power on. No extra wires, no hassle.

Is wireless internet better than wired?

It depends on what you need, but for most homes, wireless broadband is the winner. With Wi-Fi, you can connect from anywhere in your home, on any device. No cables. No faff. Just great internet.


Wired broadband does offer strong, stable speeds, but you and your router will need to be joined at the hip. It’s great for gamers or home offices, but not so handy if you want to browse in bed or from the sofa.
