  • so does your ISP router have a built in modem? Because most consumer routers are just Ethernet, and you would need a separate modem to convert from DSL to Ethernet for the router to be able to handle it. I personally have no experience with DSL so I can’t offer any advice on what to get.

    it’s important to know the differences between a modem, a router, and a switch as many device have multiple in one

    A modem convers an analog signal like a telephone line in dsl’s case to a digital medium like Ethernet

    a router acts as a manager for a subnetwork (your lan) to bridge and firewall to the rest of the internet

    A switch allows multiple devices to communicate with each other
