    1.The principle is different

    Optical modem is a kind of modem. It is a device that converts the signal of Ethernet light into Internet signal. The computer can dial-up Internet only through optical modem. The wireless router is a device that can distribute the network to several computers with a network cable and has a wireless transmission function;

    3.The connection is different

    One end of the optical modem is connected to a telephone line and a computer or a wireless router. The wireless router is connected to the optical modem at one end, and the other end can be connected to the computer through wireless WiFi or network cable;
