Modem vs. Router: Key Differences

A modem (modulator-demodulator) connects to the Internet and converts digital signals to analog, while a router distributes that Internet connection to multiple devices within a local area network (LAN). Modems work with Internet Service Providers (ISPs), whereas routers create home or office networks. Modems do not connect devices or have Wi-Fi capabilities, while routers can connect devices and provide wireless access if equipped.
