The general term for modem is modulator-demodulator, so on a basic level they do. However, purchasing the wrong modem can limit the speed of your network because ISP’s have different speed tiers and not all modems are rated to work with all speed tiers. So, it is recommended to check out your ISP’s approved modem list to see what speed tiers the modem your interested in is rated for.
