How to use a router without a modem

Hello geekplay! How are you? I hope you are as connected as a Router without a modem. 😉 Now, let's talk about how to use a Router without a modem.

Disconnect the modem from the Router. In order to use a Router without a modem, the first thing you must do is disconnect the modem from your Router if they are connected.
Connect your device to the Router. Use an Ethernet cable to connect your device directly to the Router. This will allow you to configure the Router without the need for a modem.
Access the Router configuration. Open a web browser and enter the Router's IP address in the address bar. Typically, the IP address is usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. Enter the Router login credentials.
Set up the internet connection. Within the Router configuration, look for the option to configure the internet connection. Depending on your service provider, you will need to enter the information necessary to establish the connection.
Save the changes and restart the Router. Once you have configured the internet connection, be sure to save the changes and restart the Router so that they take effect correctly.
Test the connection. After restarting the Router, disconnect the Ethernet cable connecting your device to the Router and connect to the Wi-Fi network you just configured. Open a web browser and make sure you can browse the internet correctly.

+ Information --

A Router is a device used to interconnect computer networks.
A Router is responsible for receiving data packets, examining the address of the packet and determining where to send it.
The Router uses routing tables to make these decisions, and can connect to the Internet through a modem.

Yes, a Router can be used without a modem if you just want to create a local network in your home or business.
If you don't need Internet access from that local network, a router alone may be enough.
An example of this would be a local area network (LAN) for sharing files and printers between devices.

Connect the Router to a power source and turn it on.
Connect an Ethernet cable from the Router's WAN port to a LAN port on your PC.
Set your PC's IP address to the same subnet as the Router's default IP address, for example, 192.168.1.1.
Open a web browser and enter the Router's IP address in the address bar.
Log in to the Router management interface using the default credentials or those you have previously configured.
Configures the Router's LAN network, including IP address assignment, network name (SSID), and wireless security.
Connect other devices to the Router's wireless network using the security key you configured.

The possibility of creating a local network to share resources such as printers, files and multimedia devices.
Greater control over the configuration and administration of the local network.
Lower cost and complexity by not requiring a modem to access the Internet.

The Internet cannot be accessed from the local network unless a modem or other device that provides a connection to the network is added.
The local network will be isolated and will not be able to communicate with other devices outside of it without the Internet connection.
You cannot use services that depend on an Internet connection, such as email, social networks or video streaming.

Some routers have the ability to function as modems, but these are typically specialized devices known as "routers with modem functionality" or "all-in-one" devices.
These devices can connect directly to the Internet line and provide network access both wired and wireless.
If your Router does not have this feature, you may need a separate modem to access the Internet.

A Router is responsible for directing network traffic between different networks, such as a local network and the Internet.
A modem, on the other hand, is responsible for modulating and demodulating signals to transmit data over a communication medium, such as a telephone line or coaxial cable.
A modem is usually necessary to gain access to the Internet, while a router can be used to create a local network without Internet access.

Wired routers, which connect to devices via Ethernet cables.
Wireless routers, which use radio signals to connect devices wirelessly to the network.
Dual-band routers, which can operate on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands to provide faster and more stable connections.

Determines how many devices will connect to the Router and what types of activities they will perform, such as video streaming, online gaming, or remote work.
Consider the wireless coverage and speed you'll need, especially if you plan to use wireless devices in different parts of your home or office.
Research other users' opinions and expert recommendations to find a Router that fits your needs and budget.
Check compatibility with your Internet service provider and the wireless security standards it offers.

See you later, geekplay! Remember, using a Router without a modem is like trying to make a call without a phone. Have fun browsing the web!
