ADSL (asymmetrical digital subscriber line) is a protocol that you ISP (internet service provider) use it is a analogue signal. cable normally is a cat 5e or cat 6 in to the modem and is a digital connection (much faster)
ADSL is a method of multiplexing a broadband internet connection over an existing landline telephone wire that is still being used for voice band telephone.Wireless (usually Wi-Fi) is a method of connecting computers to a router via radio signals in the microwave band. It is usually used to support a Local Area Network (the range of the radio signal is limited) but the router may be connected to the internet via an ADSL modem, a SDSL modem, a cable modem, a satellite modem, etc. if desired.
A modem is used to connect a computer to the telephone. This was traditionally used a lot as an Internet connection, although currently it is getting more common to use other technologies, like ADSL.
If you have an ADSL modem, you connect the ADSL modem to the hub, and you connect cables from the hub to each computer. If you have only a single computer, you need no hub.If instead you want to use a WiFi (wireless) connection, you also need an access point for the wireless connection.
You need wireless connection if you do not want to use a modem to connect your computer to the internet.
modems were designed to be used with all computers when using ethernet, however some modems have problems as the driver software for usb connection is not compatable, but any industry professional who knows their stuff will tell you, never use a usb moden.
Don't use a cable modem for dial up. Use the modem in your computer or an external voice/fax modem for dial up. If you want to share the internet connection with other computers use Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) in Windows. Search windows in Information in Help and Support Center for the Internet Connection Sharing setup in Windows XP. To use ICS you will have to logically connect all of the devices into one network. Hopefully all of your computers will self assign an IP address that will let them talk to each other then all you need are network cables and a switch. You can also use the swith (LAN) portion of your cable modem as a router to assign IP addresses (DHCP) to the other computers to ensure the other computers are on the same network.
No. The PS3 can only have a wired connection with an ethernet cable. The only other connection that is possible is WiFi. The PS3 can only connect to the internet with WiFi or ethernet cable no other type connection is possible. You can not use the HDMI or USB port to connect the PS3 to the internet. I do not believe a router can be connected to the internet cable without a modem or that you can have cable internet without a modem
Yep, slow though.
Splitters typically have 3 labels: ADSL, Phone and Line. To use a splitter you connect your telephone devices (eg phone, fax or answering machine) to the connection labelled phone, your ADSL modem to the ADSL connection and the line to the wall socket. If you have other telephone wall sockets in the property on the same telephone line you will need to plug in filters between the phone and the wall socket.In addition to the user installable spliter in the photograph above, you can have a central splitter (see right) installed by a telephone technician. A central splitter is installed on the telephone line before the first phone point in the property. Thus the central splitter protects the all the phone exensions from the ADSL signal. A new phone point is wired into the central ADSL splitter specifically for the ADSL modem. The ADSL modem will not work on any other point in the property.Central Splitters are sometimes used when user installable splitters and filters do not result in a reliable ADSL connection
To receive phone or internet you need a modem. some Digital converter boxs have the built in componets but most cable companys use separate devices.
I hope the answer must have already been clear. But still, let me give you a proper conclusion. DSL modem can have two types, SDSL and ADSL. Though, most of the times when we use the word DSL, we generally refer to the ADSL modem, but in certain cases, it can even be the SDSL modem. Hence, this is the difference. An ADSL modem can send and receive data at different speeds while SDSL modem can send data at only one speed.
