[Carlos1010]

Hello guys and im a noob,

So i just want to learn networking and now watching a video but I still don't understand modems and it's types so please explain it to me and not link a video because im too dumb.

My question are what is a modem and what is it used for and what are the different types of modems and what are the advantages and disadvantages of it?

Thanks for reading and for the reply! Really appreciate it!

Noob at Technology, Or the English Language. Most of your sentences don't make sense, or are fragments, and the tittle is missing punctuation and the letter "S"

 

REALLY PEOPLE, if you expect us to take time to give you answered, you should at least take the time to write a good paragraph.

 

Modems take a coaxial, fiber, ect. Input from the street/ISP and turn it into an Ethernet which can be plugged into a router, A telephone line, a TV line, or some combination of these things.

Modems are devices that translate between analogue and digital signals. Most non-full fibre internet connections will use an existing phone network, which uses analogue signals, typically over copper wire. Modems are responsible for translating to and from the analogue signals on the phone network and the digital interfaces used on local ethernet networks (and fibre networks). 

 

There are different types of input for modems, such as ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line), VDSL (Very-high-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line), Coax and so on, but the functions performed by the modem stays pretty much the same. 

 

Modems are required for networks that do not have a direct digital connection to an ISP (if connecting to the internet). For a purely local network, a modem is normally not required. For direct digital ISP connections such as FTTP (fibre to the premise), a modem is typically not required and the line can go straight to a router. 

 

A lot of people are unfamiliar with modems, or get them mixed up with routers, due to a lot of modern ISP provided routers being modem/router combo units.

Ever consider that English is not everyone's first language? 

 

His point is still easily understandable, so it really doesn't matter. Your post is also riddled with grammatical mistakes, yet you're criticising others for theirs.

I fully understand thank you for your reply!
