navand Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 So I have a black thingy these dudes put in my desk when I contracted internet (I make it sound like an STD xD). A telephone cable goes in, and some other cable goes out, and into my computer. What exactly is this thing?Also, what is a router and what's a gateway? I think my black boxy thingy is one of these, but don't know which. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
