A modem is a device that helps to change the signals transmitted by the router or the ISP into a form that can be transmitted both ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A modem is, therefore, a device that works between your router or computer and the ISP connection. There may be different types of modems depending on the type of connection that you are subscribed to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A modem translates the analog waves transmitted by cable lines and dial-up phone to digital information that can be processed by the devices. It also converts the digital information to analog waves for transmission upstream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A modem is different from a router because a modem does not supply your home with Wi-Fi. You can only get connected to the internet through an Ethernet cable if you only have a modem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_62 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/abodeinternet.com\/modem-for-internet-connection-cable-dial-up\/#What_types_of_modems_do_we_have\" title=\"What types of modems do we have?\">What types of modems do we have?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/abodeinternet.com\/modem-for-internet-connection-cable-dial-up\/#Cable_modems\" title=\"Cable modems\">Cable modems<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_types_of_modems_do_we_have\"><\/span>What types of modems do we have?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the connection type, there are different types of modems available in the market today.

They use coaxial cables to connect to the ISP. In this connection, the modem is connected either to the cable box or to the internet supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This connection gives you high-speed internet. The cable modems are considered broadband devices. This is because they offer fast data transfer rates coupled with an always-on connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cable modems include a standard RJ45 port. This port connects to your router or other devices thus providing an internet connection via the Ethernet port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, to ensure you get connections to several devices in a smart home, you will require to connect the modem to a router.
