FAQs

What is a modem and what is it used for?

Modems are devices that connect your home network to your Internet Service Provider (ISP). They convert digital data from your computer into analog signals suitable for transmission over:
  • Telephone lines
  • Cable systems
  • Fiber optics, and vice versa
This process enables your devices to access the internet.

What is the difference between modem and router?

A modem serves as a bridge between your home network and the wider internet, handling the modulation and demodulation of signals.
On the other hand, a router manages local network traffic, directing data between devices within the home and managing their connections to the modem. Routers also often provide Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing wireless devices to connect to the internet.

What is the function of a modem?

A modem's primary function is to convert digital data from your computer into a signal suitable for transmission over various types of communication lines (modulation) and to convert incoming signals back into digital data (demodulation).
This process allows for internet connectivity over long distances, enabling access to websites, email, and other online services.

Do I need both a modem and a router?

Yes, in most cases, you need both a modem and a router to create a home network. The modem connects to your ISP to provide internet access, while the router distributes this connection to multiple devices within your home, often wirelessly.
Some devices, known as gateway devices or modem-routers, combine both functions into one unit.

Are modems still used?

Yes, modems are still widely used to provide internet access, especially for cable, DSL, and fiber-optic internet services.
Even with the advent of newer technologies, the fundamental role of modems in converting and transmitting data remains essential for internet connectivity.

How do I know if I need a new modem or router?

You might need a new modem or router if:
  • Internet Speeds Issues: Your current devices do not support the internet speeds you're paying for.
  • Connection Issues: You experience frequent disconnections or slow internet speeds.
  • Outdated Technology: Your modem or router is outdated and doesn't support the latest standards (e.g., DOCSIS 3.1 for modems, Wi-Fi 6 for routers).
  • Device Compatibility: Newer devices in your home are not performing well with your existing network hardware.
  • ISP Upgrades: Your ISP has upgraded its infrastructure, and your current modem or router is not compatible with the new service.
