Do I need a modem
Confused newbie...Hi any help please 😊
I just bought a Tri-Band WiFi Router and yes I know it says Router! But I was after a modem 🤔. So do I now need to buy a modem as well seeing I have this Router that seems to be not a modem also.🤷♀️
If I do which Modem is priced the lowest and will be best suited? Thankyou for any help 😊 Sarah.

You do need some type of gateway device. What you need depends on what your isp supports and uses. Your best bet is to check with your isp to find a compatible list of modems/gateways
