What is the difference between the modem and a router?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

A modem is a hardware device that allows you to connect to the internet. There are several connection methods such as dial up (through a landline phone), cable, or wireless etc.
A router allows you to have several computers share that internet connection that the modem provides. It essentially creates a network between computers whether LAN (local area network) or wireless.
