Modems, Routers, and Network Setups — Explained
So before we can launch into the
intricacies of having a dedicated network setup, let’s make sure we are all on
the same page. For our purposes, a network setup is the combination of settings
and placement of your modem and router that allows them to work together to
keep your business online and connected to the internet.
Modems are the devices that connect
directly to the internet at large and are generally provided to you by your
internet service provider (ISP). Routers, on the other hand, create a local network that
allows internet-enabled devices (e.g. computer, iPads, mobile phones) to
connect to the internet in a specific location (e.g. within the walls of your
business). They also allow devices on that local network to communicate with
each other.
