A modem is a device used to connect a computer to an ISP.

     Modems generally come in two forms:

  1. Modems used to connect a computer to the Internet through an analogue (non-digital) line, like dial-up modems.
  2. Modems used to provide an Internet connection through digital lines,like DSL modems.

Wireless modems use wireless connectivity technology.
