Modems - routers new and used!

You will find in this section on OpenSooq both routers and modems, both are two of the most common computer peripherals, yet many people do not know the function of each one. While the two devices may look similar, they each serve a different purpose. Fortunately, the functions of the two devices are pretty easy to understand.

What is the difference between modems and routers?

• The router is a small box that allows multiple computers to join the same network, while early routers only had Ethernet ports for wired connections, most modern routers provide wireless connectivity as well. "Wireless routers" often have one or two moveable antennas, though some models keep the antennas inside the enclosure. Wireless routers allow multiple computers and other devices, such as smartphones and tablets, to join the same network.

• A modem is a device that provides access to the Internet. The modem connects to your ISP, which typically provides either cable or DSL Internet service. Cable modems have a coaxial connection, which is the same type of connector found on a TV or cable box. This connects to a cable port on the wall. DSL modems have a telephone connector, which connects to a telephone socket on the wall.

While the router and modem are often separate entities, it has been more common for the modem and router to be combined into a single device called gateway. Add a post in this section to reach the targeted consumers of this product for a chance to complete you transaction.
