Are you using adsl rounter or modem

I'm using ADSL Router and set it to auto connect to my ISP whenever I turn it on. Yes, auto connect is a nice feature because you don't have to manually connect when your internet disconnected.

I am using fiber optic cable internet connection. The city I live in offers it and it is really fast.

when have a modem and a router for the two computers.

I have lovely dialup so my computer used the modem. We cannot get ADSL in my area right now but the other things are so very expensive also. It works for me for now.

i'm using a wireless adsl router at home

Hello there! Right now, I am using a modem from Motorola. Our router got bad so I am looking to replace it next month, I just don't have the time to buy and install it at home. I just shared my internet from my main computer to other computers in case they want a simultaneous connections. It is really good. Good thing when just using a modem, you will have a direct connection to the internet and y ou will know that the modem has disfunction when you lose the connection but I still prefer to have a router at home so that multiple computers can connect to it plus it has wireless connection as well. Have a great day! Thank you for the discussion. Happy Mylotting! Cheers! Have a great day! Thank you for the discussion. Happy Mylotting! Cheers!

i'm using a router as it is easier to use if the internet connection is used for several pc's. i used to have a modem, but even the fact that there's a cable and a box attached to the pc, is not very handy when using a laptop. of course, if you have only 1 desktop, hence not sharing the connection, a modem maybe a better choice.
