Thats not really the point though lol.
To say whats the difference between a modem and a router would like be saying hwats the difference between a fork and a spoon!!

Their is an extreme difference between them, you'd have to be a retard to not know which is which even if your not computer literate!

Routers and modems are sorta the same

[LoVeRSaMa]

One distributes information over a network wired or wireless, and the other receives converts and sends information over the internet, but also allows a single computer connection, ones with multiple computer connections is still a modem but has routing capabilities.

I can see where the confusion started but I think Bronco was being pedantic because he knows more about this stuff, which is rightly due'd to him

Exactly. A modem interprets the data flow and allows your computer to connect to the internet. A router "routes" the signal to multiple locations and allows the data flow to be split multiple times and interpreted separately.

You need both…that's pretty much it.
