A modem (modulator-demodulator) is a computer hardware device that converts digital data into a format suitable for analog transmission media like telephone lines, or converts signals from cable/fiber for digital use by connected devices. Modern modems, such as Cable, DSL, and Fiber optic modems, facilitate high-speed internet access. Cable modems use coaxial cables, DSL modems use existing telephone wires, and Fiber modems use fiber optic cables for significantly faster data transfer using light pulses. Common modem features include DOCSIS 3.1 support for multi-gigabit speeds, multiple Ethernet ports for wired connections, and compatibility with major Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Speeds are often expressed in Mbps or Gbps, and are dependent on the modem's specifications matching the ISP's plan capabilities.

A modem acts as the gateway between your ISP's network and your home network, translating signals for internet access. Current high-performance modems primarily utilize DOCSIS 3.1 technology for high-speed cable internet, supporting speeds up to multi-gigabit tiers. The choice of modem (Cable, DSL, or Fiber) is dictated by the internet service technology provided by the ISP.
