Is there any diff between wireless router and wireless modem?if there pls specify functions of each.?
A wireless modem is a type of modem which connects to a wireless network instead of to the telephone system. When you connect with a wireless modem, you are attached directly to your wireless ISP (Internet Service Provider) and you can then access the Internet. while, A wireless router is a device that performs the functions of a modem but also includes the functions of a wireless access point. It is commonly used to allow access to the Internet or a computer network without the need for a cabled connection. It can function in a wired LAN (local area network), a wireless only LAN, or a mixed wired/wireless network. Most current wireless routers have the following characteristics: * LAN ports, which function in the same manner as the ports of a network switch * A WAN port, to connect to a wider area network. The routing functions are filtered using this port. If it is not used, many functions of the router will be bypassed. * Wireless antennae. These allow connections from other wireles
