Do I need a wireless modem to have wireless internet access in my home?
You need a wireless modem but you also need the internet connection. You should call your cable company for some options. Comcast cable lets you rent the modem from them if you have service already. New customers often get good deals at most cable companies.
Why would unplugging and then reconnecting a LAN to a DSL modem make an Internet connection work again?
It's not that it makes the Internet respond, it makes your DSL modem respond. Occasionally DSL and Cable modems will become unresponsive for whatever reason. Disconnecting and reconnting the Internet connection cable is one way to "wake up" the modem. Often that doesn't work and you have to reboot the computer or power-cycle the modem. Annoying but sometimes necessary. The way my ISP, who gave me my DSL modem to use, explained it is that, like a computer, every now and then, the modem just needs to be reset or rebooted, much like your computer
What is rollover connection?
Rollover cable (also known as Cisco console cableor a Yost cable) is a type of null-modem cable that is often used to connect a computer terminal to a router's console port
When setting up a home network, what is more efficient a cable modem or a dsl modem?
The question of whether "Is DSL or Cable better" will often come down to the local area you live in. Speeds are going to be very dependent on how close you live to your local DSL hub and whether or not your Cable provider has updated their connections with fiber optic technology.
The World of the Wireless Cable Modem Router?
Wondering what your home would be like without a wireless cable modem router might not be something that you want to think about. There are too many issues that some people have to deal with, and router problems are often not something that many people want to bother focusing on in their home.
What is the function of modem card to the CPU?
A modem is a serial port interface to a telephone line, allowing you to create dialup connections to other modem equipped computers. Often, a modem card includes a serial port interface, a COM port. The term modem has also become applicable to other interfaces, such as DSL modems and cable modems, though that usage is tenuous in some cases. Modem stands for Modulator/Demodulator.
How do you configure TC7200 Modem?
To configure a TC7200 modem, first connect your computer to the modem via Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Then, open a web browser and enter the modem's IP address, typically "192.168.0.1," in the address bar. Log in using the default credentials, often "admin" for both username and password, and follow the setup wizard to configure your internet connection settings, Wi-Fi network name, and password. Finally, save your settings and reboot the modem if necessary.
Why do you always have to reboot your router more than once a day?
If your router is working properly, you should never have to reboot it. If you have to reboot it often, it may be malfunctioning and it is time to purchase a new one. Home routers (such as Netgear) are known to last around 3 years before it needs replacing.
What are the major differences between cable modems and DSL modems?
Cable modem connects through fibre optic DLS through phone line. Cable boasts faster speed than DSL Internet in theory. However, cable does not always deliver on the promise in everyday practical use. Cable modem services can slow down significantly if many people in your neighborhood access the Internet simultaenously. Both cable modem and DSL performance vary from one minute to the next depending on the pattern of use and traffic congestion on the Internet. DSL and cable Internet providers often implement so-called "speed caps" that limit the bandwidth of their services. Some home networks cannot match the speed of the Internet connection, lowering your performance
What is a wireless data modem?
A wireless modem is a modem which connects to a wireless network instead of to the telephone system. When you connect with a wireless modem, you are attached directly to your wireless ISP (Internet Service Provider) and you can then access the Internet. Basically it's another type of modem that lets you connect to the Internet anywhere in your home or workplace without using a wire/cable! Cool!
How do you setup a computer network?
If the computer network is to have internet, then you would need a modem connected via a phone line or cable connection. Then the modem is usually connected to a Router, that in turn connects to a "Switch". All the computers then connect to the Switch through ethernet cable (cat5 or cat6). One computer is often designated as the "Server", a central point to hold the programs and data for the other computers (clients) to use. INTERNET --> MODEM--> ROUTER --> SWITCH --> SERVER --> COMPUTERS (In some cases, the router can also serve as the switch as well).
How does cable internet work?
Suppose you want to connect your computer to an ISP using an ordinary phone line. The computer at your end needs a modem to modulate its digital signals (add them on top of an analog telephone signal) so they can travel down the phone line just like the sound of your voice. Once the signals have reached the other end, they have to pass through a second modem, which demodulates them (separates them out from the telephone signal and turns them back into digital form) so the ISP computer can understand them. When the ISP computer replies, it sends its signals through a modulator back down the line to you. Then a demodulator at your end turns the signals back into digital form that your computer can understand. A box that we call a modem thus contains two different kinds of translators. There's a modulator (for transmitting digital signals out down the phone line in analog form) and a demodulator (for receiving analog signals from the phone line and turning them back into digital form)-and that's why it's called a modem. Modulation is simply a fancy name for transmitting information by changing the shape of a waveform. If you send information by making the peaks of a wave bigger or smaller, that's called amplitude modulation or AM (because the amplitude is the size of the wave peaks); if you send information by changing how often the peaks travel, that's frequency modulation or FM (because the frequency is the number of peaks that travel per second). You may have heard the terms AM and FM before, because they describe how radio signals travel.
