The core of a computer system is normally the CPU or central processing unit or processor. This processor connects to a motherboard. The motherboard serves as a connector for all hardware components, modems, memory, drives, and peripherals. A modem is a piece of hardware that helps your computer communicate with other computers. The modem modulates and demodulates analog signals between a phone line and your computer's data.

How do you use a usb cable to connect to your modem?

Your question presupposes that you have subscribed to cable internet service, and that the provider has run a cable to your home. It also presupposes that you have a cable modem. If these suppositions are correct, you just have to run coax between the cable jack on the wall and the cable modem. Then you need to connect the modem to your computer via USB, FireWire, or whatever interface your modem and computer have in common. FriPilot


How do you use a router with a dsl modem bc The router instructions say to plug the Ethernet cable into the computer and To do that you have to unplug the DSL modem's Ethernet cable from the computer?

Yes you take the internet access from the modem to the computer and move it to the router so the router can allow more access than just to the computer. In the back of the router there are spots for ethernet cables only one is a input and that comes from the modem and should be connected. There should also be 4 or more outputs and one then gets connected to the computer. You will need to buy more ethernet cables. Internet comes from your DSL modem and you need to disconnect your computer to allow the router to be installed. Your computer and anything else is then connected to the router
