| 347564 | 2005-04-22 22:46:00 | I do believe the internal adsl device is called a modem for the sake of simplicity, Its not a modem by my definition,though wiser minds may be able to correct me on that. That's how I see it too: Google says (www.google.co.nz) |

As mentioned in the above Google... Modem (MOdulator/DEModulator) converts analog serial data to digital parallel data for computer in varying manners (external modem uses serial controller to convert; internal modem I believe uses onboard UART chip). ADSL (Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line) transmits DIGITAL data |

| 347566 | 2005-04-22 23:19:00 | And the definition of a router.... www.google.com So I think mine is a modem? |

| 347567 | 2005-04-22 23:23:00 | Why not just turn it off at the wall at the end of the day? :@@: | theother1 (3573) | ||
| 347568 | 2005-04-22 23:25:00 | Nope From Google 'A hardware device that routes data from a local area network (LAN) to another network connection. A router is connected to at least two networks, commonly two LANs or WANs or a LAN and its ISP's network. Routers are located at gateways - the places where two or more networks connect.' Yours is a router Why, because you are on ADSL; and modems (proper modems) deal with analog data. Also, your connection to the ISP is your gateway... your setup at home is a LAN network (even if it just a router and computer). You also connect to another network (the Internet) via your router (gateway). |

| 347569 | 2005-04-22 23:27:00 | i have a (usb) thompson (alcatel) speedtouch 330 which is the model xtra were giving out before they got to the d-link 302g's ........it's different in that it requires you to actually 'dial in' as such just like an ordinary modem......so that when one wants to disconnect it its just a right clik on the system tray icon and 'disconnect'.........very simple......sure it's usb but it's totally reliable and works perfectly for me......i'm quite willing to swap it for your d-link if you wish, (although I have one of those too already)......... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 347570 | 2005-04-22 23:31:00 | Thank you chaps,will now proceed in an orderly manner. One of the easiest ways to proceed in an orderly manner (whilst saving power) is to plug all peripherals that have an independent power feed into a multiway board, then you only need turn off one switch each night. My system is built in because I installed it while building my office, but it has two 4-way outlet plates controlled by a master switch on the wall. It supplies my router, network switch, scanner, printers, external sound system, and camera chargers x2. Each of my computers is independently supplied via its own UPS. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 347571 | 2005-04-22 23:40:00 | Nope Yours is a router Why, because you are on ADSL and modems (proper modems) deal with analog data . How do you think the router transmits the data down the copper cable? The routers all have a modem section . In fact with DMT (Discrete Multi Tone) which is the NZ ADSL method you can think of it as a whole lot of modems in parallel . |

| 347572 | 2005-04-22 23:45:00 | I have the same "modem" - D-Link DSL-302G, and I turn the computer off, and as well unplug from the filter to the phone connection... | R.M. (561) | ||
