Modems vs Routers 🤔

Do you have a separate modem and router? Or Combo? Understanding the difference between a modem and a router can help you understand and troubleshoot any networking issues. Your modem basically only acts as the translator between the outside network and your home devices, while your modem manages all the connections (both wireless and wired) to your single network. There are many devices that act as both a modem and a router, these can be easy to setup and cleaner. But when upgrading you have to upgrade the entire thing vs having a separate modem and router. #tech #networking #gadgets #internet #gamingsetup
