Comment on Router recommendation for newbie
nshibj@lemmy.world 1 week agoThanks for your answer. I wasn’t sure what “you have cable” exactly meant, but after seeing BrightCandle’s comment I looked at my ISP contract and it mentions VDSL 50, so I goes I don’t need a separate modem then.
You don’t have cable, but you do have DSL, which means that you do need a DSL modem. It’ll have a phone jack, an RJ-11, and you’ll plug a phone cable into it. Looks like an RJ-45 Ethernet jack, but smaller.
