WHAT DO I NEED – A MODEM-ROUTER OR ROUTER?
For many, this is a confusing question. They're all the same, right? Nope! The modem-router facilitates a connection and then directs the traffic to and from this connection. The router directs the traffic between the modem (external traffic) and the network clients (internal traffic) ensuring information gets to where it needs to be. If you require an internet connection, a modem is mandatory. Whether this is separate from the router, is up to your discretion.
