broadband modem
Home connection device
A broadband modem is a device that connects a home or office network to high-speed internet service.
It converts signals from a cable line, phone line (DSL), or fiber-optic connection into data that computers and routers can use.
Most internet subscribers have a broadband modem provided by their service provider, though many purchase their own: The technician installed a new broadband modem when we upgraded our internet speed.
