What’s the difference between a modem and a router?

The terms “modem” and “router” are often used interchangeably. Both work together to connect your home or office computers and devices to the internet.

A modem serves as a bridge between your local Internet Service Provider (ISP) and the Internet. When you connect to WiFi, you’re essentially connecting to your router which then forwards the traffic between your Internet and computer.

A router creates a network between your devices. For example, in your home network, the router has one connection to the Internet and one connection to your private local network. A router can also allow you to connect with multiple wired devices. Browse our range of essential modem-routers and routers.

How to choose the best modem or router

At Wireless 1, choosing the best modem or router is easy given our extensive range of networking solutions.

While modems and routers serve the same purpose, different models have different features and capabilities.

For a basic home connection, a standard wifi router is enough to keep your Internet connection fast, secure, and reliable. There are new models of wireless networking standards that are designed for heavier Internet use such as gaming or in instances where there are several individuals within the one household relying on a single wifi network. Mesh system/routers are a home networking solution, providing multiple Wi-Fi nodes to offer a more seamless network throughout a household or workplace.

Every home network setup is different and not every household uses the internet in the same way. If you’re unsure where to start when selecting a modem or router, contact us and we can help to connect you.
