It receives signals from your ISP and converts them to an internet connection. Your router then transmits that internet connection to your computers, smartphones, and other connected devices in your home. A computer modem connects to your internet service provider through a phone line, cable, or satellite connection. A cable modem, wireless modem, or other internet modem is essentially the bridge between your internet service provider and your local area network.
Do you want to connect to the internet? You need a modem for that. Many internet service providers rent out computer modems for a small monthly fee. But this fee can add up, making it more cost-effective to buy a modem in the long run. And if you want to be even more efficient in your setup, consider a modem router combo.
Some internet service providers include a modem in their setup, while others charge a rental fee. Online In Stock. Available In Stores. Add to Cart. Compare Product. Learn More. USRobotics 56K V. Online Special Order.

The difference between cable and DSL Internet services is mainly in the way that the service is delivered and the characteristics of that infrastructure. DSL runs through lines typically associated with telephone service, where cable runs through lines typically associated with cable television service. A DSL connection requires an active phone line.
The DSL connection is a dedicated line. This means it is yours and only yours. Your bandwidth will not be affected by other users in the area. DSL is very dependent on the quality of the infrastructure and your distance from the nearest Central Office CO where the service ultimately connects to the outside world. The further you are from the CO and the quality of the infrastructure leading to your home, and inside it, will determine what the highest speeds you will qualify for.
A cable connection runs through coaxial cabling. You are not required to have an active cable television service in your home to receive cable Internet service. This does not mean that your personal information is at risk. However, if the trunk is not wide enough to feed all the users in your area you may notice some congestion which leads to slower speeds when everyone is using the service at one time. Coaxial cabling is heavily shielded, so distance is less of a concern when it comes to a cable connection.
