What is a modem?
A modem is a network device which converts data to a signal which can be transmitted and received via cable, satellite connection or telephone line. One of the earliest ways to connect to the internet was via a 'dial-up' modem and a telephone line, with the modem converting data between analog and digital formats. The technology is much more sophisticated these days. The principle, however, remains the same (though the high-speed digital modems of today do not require the conversion). A modem is, essentially, a gateway to the internet.
What's the difference between a router and a modem?
It's fairly common, these days, for the terms to be used interchangeably, but there are important differences. A modem handles connection to the internet while a router allows multiple devices to connect to the internet simultaneously. If, as in days gone by, you only had one internet-connected device with an Ethernet port (a desktop PC, say) you could connect the modem directly to it via a cable. However, times have changed and now we all have multiple devices which require connection to the internet at the same time. This is the function of the router - to take the connection provided by the modem and distribute it across your smartphone, laptop, smart TV, tablet etc. So, a modem and a router are both essential pieces of kit in the modern world.
