DSL modems that use either a USB or Ethernet port, as well as those designed for use with both. Though a DSL modem may be capable of working with a universal serial bus (USB) port, most experts recommend the use of an Ethernet port. when you are not using internet switch off the router other wise it will consume your electricity.

I surf the internet for a few hours until around 1 am in the night. I then turn my computer off but leave my modem on. I am with the MTNL 512 speed plan and have the standard modem. Still i not face any problem.
