Wireless modem

Okay, kiddo. So you know how we use the internet on our computer or phone, right? Well, in order to connect to the internet, we need something called a modem.

Now, a wireless modem is just like a regular modem, but it has the extra special power to connect to the internet without any wires or cables. It uses something called Wi-Fi to send and receive information from the internet.

It's like when you talk to your friends on your toy walkie-talkies. Instead of a cord connecting your walkie-talkie to your friend's, your voices travel through the airwaves to reach each other. That's what your wireless modem does with the internet - it sends signals without using any wires.

So, basically, a wireless modem allows you to connect to the internet without any cords or cables. It uses magic Wi-Fi to make the connection instead!
