Do I need a router if I have a modem?
Do I need a router if I have a modem?
You do not need a router if you have a modem, if you intend to only connect one device to the internet at a time (although a router cannot work without a modem). If you require multiple devices to be connected to the internet, you will need to do this through a router’s wifi network.
Read our pages on which is better a router or modem and the difference between a router and modem
