Todays Radio Islam Digital Lifestyle returned today after a 2 week break.
A common question with our listeners is the difference between an ADSL Modem and a Router.
Short answer: A modem plugs directly into your PC, while a router allows you to connect multiple devices to it and if the router supports wifi, you can connect your tablets, cellphones and laptops.
You’d want to get a router over a modem. Your typical ADSL router with WiFi and 4 Ethernet ports cost R400 upwards.

Recently Vodacom and CellC lowered their prepaid call rates to 99c a minute. With Vodacom billing per minute and offering free late night calls (midnight to 5am) and Cell C billing per second.

Unfortunately 15 minutes was too short to talk about this important subject. Most, if not all parents struggle to find a balance in monitoring their children’s online usage.

Others simply give in and let them have their own way.
This article by Cerebra shares a few guidelines to strike a perfect balance.
