That depends on the device. Unless you’re talking about massive speeds there shouldn’t be a problem. If you have speeds that the devices are compatible with and you compare that speed on both devices there really isn’t much of a difference.
Answer #5
ADSL router I had a USB modem like mine was crashing and unstable.
Answer #6
Both are good and both works fine. But i prefer a router…
Answer #7
NEVER get a USB modem. It’s just crap. Hassle with drivers and the whatnot. Not to mention the 8ms of lag that will be added due to the USB polling frequency. Just stay away from them.
