What is the difference between a modem and a router?
In DSL terms, the difference between a modem and a router is the number of computers it can provide the Internet to. A modem is suitable for a single computer connected to broadband. Routers are designed to share the connection between multiple computers. If you have more than one computer in the house, then you should choose an ADSL router.
A modem will send and receive the signals required for an internet connection, whereas a router will help forward the internet traffic. It is recommended that for a standard ADSL connection you purchase a modem/router. With this you will not need to establish connections manually and it may include a built in firewall to help with Internet security. Adam Internet can supply you with the latest ADSL2+ modem/routers, whether you are a new or existing customer.
