Do I need a modem or router for streaming?

To stream content over the internet, you typically need both a modem and a router. These two devices serve different but complementary functions in providing internet connectivity to your devices.

A modem connects your home network to the internet. A router, on the other hand, is a device that connects to your modem and distributes the internet connection to multiple devices within your home.

If you want to use Wi-Fi to connect devices wirelessly (such as smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, etc.), a router is essential. Routers can provide both wired (Ethernet) and wireless (Wi-Fi) connectivity to your devices.
