Enjoy Superfast Internet Connection with a Modem from Sears
Creating a network in your home requires connection of various wired and wireless electronic devices. This enables a high speed internet for seamless browsing. A modem is a gadget that is directly connected to a computer to set-up an internet connection. This PC accessory can be paired up with a Wi-Fi router to complete the installation of a wireless home network. This combination is commonly found in a majority of homes using a broadband connection. Modems also help establish communication between a computer and an internet service provider (ISP) over a landline connection. Sears has a great collection of modems from top-rated brands like Netgear, Motorola, and more.
Modems are Versatile Gadgets
A modem functions by converting data from a digital format into a format suitable for an analog transmission medium. This is especially useful for telephone or radio. A hardware device that is intended to transmit computer data over an ordinary switched telephone line is known as a dial-up modem. Although this is the least expensive method of accessing internet, it is also the slowest. This was one of the earliest techniques used for internet connection in homes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a modem?
Modem is a short form of modulator-demodulator. This electronic device operates by modulating one or more carrier wave signals to encode digital information. The receiver then demodulates the signal to get the original digital information.
What are the types of modems?
These are available in three types, namely cable modems, DSL modems, and fiber modems. This differentiation is done based on the type of medium used in each of them. Cable modems use a coax cable, digital subscriber line modems (DSL modems) use the existing telephone line, and a fiber modem uses a fiber optic cable.
