What is a modem?

A modem is a device that connects your home to the internet. Think of it as a translator that helps your computer talk to your internet service provider (ISP).

Here’s how it works:

• Signal Conversion: It changes the internet signal from your ISP into a signal that your devices (like your computer or smartphone) can understand, and vice versa.
• Connection Point: It acts as the main entry point for the internet into your home.

Without a modem, you wouldn’t be able to access the internet. It’s an essential piece of equipment for getting online.
