DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line and is the parent word to describe the technology that allows the transmission of data over the copper line originally installed in the ground to connect you to your local telephone exchange in order to transmit your phone calls. This data represents your connection to the internet.

Is a DSL and a router the same thing?

No, a DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) and a router are not the same thing. DSL is a technology used to transmit internet data over telephone lines, providing broadband access. A router, on the other hand, is a device that connects multiple devices to the internet and manages traffic between them, often using DSL or other types of internet connections. While a DSL modem is required to connect to a DSL service, a router is used to share that connection with multiple devices.
