DSL modems (ADSL/VDSL)

DSL modems (ADSL/VDSL) are used to connect to the Internet via a telephone line. They are suitable for homes and businesses using ADSL or VDSL connections, either as a replacement for equipment from a provider or for use with their own router.

It is important to verify support for the correct type of DSL connection and compatibility with your provider's setup. In some installations, the bridge mode option is also key.

How to choose a DSL modem: What to look for

• ADSL vs. VDSL

Check whether your line uses ADSL or VDSL and choose a modem with the appropriate support.

• Bridge mode and custom router

If you want to use the modem with a custom router, check for bridge mode support or appropriate settings.

• Connectivity

For DSL connections, line stability, modem quality, and proper setup are important for smooth operation.
