Those are 2 different things. There are cable modems and DSL modems. Wireless refers to a type of network which can be based either on a Cable modem or a DSL modem. You can have a wired network, or a wireless network. Wireless networks have typically have had slower transfer rates than wired networks, but the technology is changing so wireless routers are becoming faster in transferring data.
What else can I help you with?
Can a twisted pair cable connect a cable modem to a wireless router?
Yes, it can. Some type of modems and routers can use only a particular type of the twisted pair. If you are not sure about your hardware, just avoid cross cables (usually they are read colored).
What type of wire is used for TV's or cable modem?
Televisions and cable modems use a coaxial cable. RG59 or RG6.
What type og cabling is used for cable modems?
Coxial cable is used from the wall to the modem. From the modem to the computer an RJ-45, or ethernet, cable is used.
A modem is a device that is used for what?
A modem is a device that modulates signals to encode digital information and demodulates signals to decode the transmitted information. It the "thing" that you needed to connect to the internet.
Do you have to have a N modem for a wireless N router?
There is no such thing as N modem. N is a type of wireless network. When modems are usually associated with wired connection. Getting back to the answer, yes you can connect N type wireless router to virtually any modem (there are some exceptions).
How reliable is wireless internet compared with cable or DSL?
Wireless internet is the most reliable type on the market. It has far fewer outages.
What connector type would you use to connect to the Internet?
An ethernet cable. Or wireless adapters.
What is the difference between a modem and wireless router?
Modems are hardware devices that translate an analog signal into a language your computer (or other digital device) can understand. They are often used to create an Internet connection through telephone ("dial-up") or cable lines. Wireless modems are typically used in portable devices such as laptop computers, mobile phones, and PDAs. These modems receive a signal over the air, such as from a cellular network, and not from a physical ground line. Routers are used to share the Internet connection created by a modem with one or more other machines connected to it. To use a router for anything other than creating a local network, you would need to connect it to the Internet via a modem. Wireless routers can perform this function without the need for ethernet cables. In this case, each machine needs a compatible wireless network adapter that uses an antenna to receive the signal broadcasted from the router. Because household routers are almost always used with modems, some hardware manufacturers have begun combining the two in a single physical device: the modem router. A wireless modem router is typically a hybrid of a traditional modem (which receives data through a physical cable) and a wireless router (which broadcasts the connection over a wireless network).
What is external cable modem?
A cable modem is a type of modem that provides bi-directional data communication via radio frequency channels on a cable television (CATV) infrastructure. Cable modems are primarily used to deliver broadband Internet access in the form of cable Internet, taking advantage of the high bandwidth of a cable television network
Does cable modem provides internet access through the user's existinig telephone line?
No. DSL connections are through existing telephone lines (provided they are close enough to the telephone station). Cable modems require the type of wire used by cable television signals.
How does an external modem connect to PC?
wireless or wired? if wired simple case of usiing an Ethernet cable, also called a patch cable or cat 5 cable. if wireless, you will need a network card with wireless capibilty or a wireless 'dongle' that comes with the router, then its a case of set up A cable modem is connected either with a RJ45 cable or a USB cable.
Modems use what type of transmission?
asyncronous
