Most routers are designed for broadband internet connections only. The Apple Airport is an exception as it has a dial-up modem built-in and can also support Broadband connections.

No, the router must be connected to a cable or DSL modem and acts as a traffic cop directing traffic from the modem to your PCs. A cable/DSL modem is a device that connects a Cable/DSL broadband line to a computer or home network.

A modem is suitable for connecting one computer to the Internet and a router is ideal for connecting many computers or a business to the Internet. However, FutureWeb recommends using a router for single and multiple computer applications. For the minimal price difference, a router will manage your Internet connection, provide some basic firewall services and share the connection via your local area network (LAN).

The rule of thumb is the faster the better. You can download shows from umlive.net on a dial-up modem, but it may take about 12 hours or more for one show in standard MP3 format. On a cable modem or DSL it typically takes between 15 minutes to a half-hour to download a show in MP3 format.

The term Dial-Up refers to an Internet connection over a phone line where you must dial the phone number of an Internet Service Provider. Each dial-up customer shares the ISP's bank of modems with all of the ISP's other dial-up customers, which is a more efficient use of the ISP's resources. When one customer disconnects from the ISP, the Internet Protocol address temporarily assigned to that customer becomes available for the next caller.

The most obvious cause is that you've neglected to plug your telephone line into your modem. Double check to make sure it's plugged in securely. A common problem is plugging your telephone line into the wrong jack on your modem. Many modems have two jacks, one for the telephone line and one for a telephone handset. On some of these modems (e.g., USRobotics), you won't be able to get a dial tone or be able to use the modem if you plug the telephone line into the telephone handset jack.

Yes, however, you must install a micro filter to separate the ADSL modem to the dial-up modem to remove the noise on the ADSL phone line.

There is no doubt that a fast internet connection is a great aid for any use of the internet. While these files are on average about 4 megabytes - not that large by today's standards, they will take some time to download with a 28.8 modem. If you have a dial up connection try downloading a few sample shows on our samples page to test the speeds and see if you can live with the performance before you sign up.

Well, that depends. If you have a broadband connection (e.g., you connect online through a DSL or cable modem) then yes, your modem is still available for use to dial the phone from JPT while you are online. If you have a dial-up connection then no, you cannot be online while using the modem and concurrently use the modem to dial from JPT.

In DSL terms, the difference between a modem and a router is the number of computers it can provide the Internet to. A modem is suitable for a single computer connected to broadband. Routers are designed to share the connection between multiple computers. If you have more than one computer in the house, then you should choose an ADSL router.
