Under EAJA, a prevailing party is entitled to an award of fees and other expenses incurred in a civil action brought by or against the United States, unless the court finds that the position of the United States was substantially justified or that special circumstances make an award unjust.
Modem - Box from your ISP that connects to the internet. It actually connects to the phone line or the coaxial cable or whatever physical line you have. It normally has at least an ethernet connection, sometimes a USB as well. Router - Box that connects to the modem and allows multiple devices to use that internet connection at the same time. It also lets the devices talk to each other (so you can transfer files in your house or whatever).
Difference Between Modem and Router. When subscribing to an ISP, they would usually provide you with a box that connects to your phone line and to your computer. This box is usually both a router and a modem. A modem is a device that negotiates the connection with your ISP through your telephone line while a router is a device that is used to connect two networks together, in this case your network to your modem. Traditionally modems were stand alone devices that can be connected straight to your computer or to a router.
