router /modem

Hi

Just going through the process of gettting the hardware together for when we
get broadband.

Unless a wireless router states it is a modem as well do i assume it hasnt
got this and i need a seperate one?

thanks

Wireless routers are not modems. There are combination modem/routers like
the 2Wire. So see what your ISP offers. Unless you get a combo like the
2Wire, you will need your cable/dsl modem and then a wireless router.
Here's a link with some good pictures to help you visualize the setup
(naturally you don't need to buy Linksys - I just think this is a useful
site for basic info).
