The modem will define the speed at which your will be able to access the internet connection. For example, if you have an ADSL modem, you will only be able to access speed at the modem max of 512k even though your telephone line has speeds up to 24,000k.
Conversely, if your telephone line is only able to handle speeds upto 512k, having an ADSL2+ modem will not increase your speed. The technology for data transfer speed is in the cable sending and receiving data thus copper cables will be slower then fiber optics.
A dial-up modem using the telephone line on analogue (instead of digital) will only transfer at a speed of 64k even though it is using the same copper cable capable of 512k.
Yes. You need a high-speed internet connection to use Skype. This may come from a cable internet modem, but it might also come from a DSL line (from the telephone line) or a high-speed wireless connection.
A modem is a piece of hardware in which you plug a phone line into to connect to dial up internet access. PCI is simply the cards interface, in your situation it's a card that gets plugged into a PCI slot on your motherboard.
laptops and computers dont come with modems. They come with wireless adapters that are essentially the same for both laptop and desktop, that can connect to modems. If you have a purchased usb modem for your laptop, that is what is accessing the internet. If you do not, the modem, say at Starbucks, is accessing the internet for you...and you are connecting to it.
Make sure all of the wires are secured and plugged into the modem. Then, turn your modem off for at least 10 seconds, then it turn it on. If this does not solve the problem, then try contacting your ISP (Internet service provider) to get assistance.
Their are several reasons as to why the internet light on the Embarq DSL modem is not coming on. One is the modem maybe in whats called Bridge modem. Which means it just translating DSL signal to a signal your PC can understand. The Firewall and routing of data have been disabled. Basicly the internet light means that modem is hold a ip address for the internet. Other possiable issue is that maybe issue with Embarq Network. Contact Embarq HSI Tech support for any help.
The fastest speed may come from your cable company. When purchased in a bundle, this can cost as little as about $30 a month.
First, you need a wireless router and high speed internet. Set up the router with your internet modem and computer. When it is set up, go to settings, and then to general, and then to Wi-Fi to search for the router you set up and just tap to join that network.
To install fiber optic cable in your home for high-speed internet connectivity, you will need to contact a reputable internet service provider that offers fiber optic services. They will schedule a technician to come to your home and install the necessary equipment and wiring to connect your home to the fiber optic network. This will involve running the fiber optic cable from the provider's network to your home and setting up a modem or router to enable high-speed internet access.
No, it comes with a router that connects 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
No, generally not.Most newer laptops come with a built in network card and wireless network, but many laptops come without a modem.If you have a broadband connection, like ADSL (over the phone line) or cable (over the cable TV connection), you will normally get the modem from the ISP.
They don't come with it but they do come with a cable to hook it up to a modem, or if you have a wireless connection, you can buy an adapter at a local Microsoft retailer and connect it to wireless internet.
