!PLEASE RECOMMEND A GAMING ROUTER FOR ME AND THANK YOU!
I've never used a gaming router before, but I'm interested in one especially based on what is advertised. I was looking at this router online:
Gaming Router from Amazon
So, I get what a modem is, the device with all of the link lights and the cable that comes from the wall to provide either Ethernet or WiFi connectivity to a household or business. The modem for an internet service like from AT&T is usually provided by the ISP. But, my question is:
If you buy a gaming router, does the router actually replace the modem that the ISP provides and installs, or does the 'router' get installed somewhere else? What is the difference between a modem and router, and, sometimes the modem/router is both in a single device right?
Thanks for knowledge and info! Please don't ask me to Google this, questions are why Tom's Hardware exists as a concept.
