What is the difference between firmware and a driver?
Firmware is a code that isburned into achip inside your modem; it allows the latter to meet industry standards, whether it be X2, V34, V90, etc. It can usually be updated at the modem’s website. The driver is 100% software. It is a file that allows your operating system to recognize your modem and all of its characteristics. We find many different types of computer hardware on the market and these are often manufactured after the operating system comes out. It is important to be up to date with all the changes concerning your operating system and to make the necessary updates.
