Which way's least problematic?

Hi
I've four PC's of various vintage but all running XP home or Pro. They
are on a wired LAN using a Netgear DG814 modem/router/firewall. I want
to move them into separate rooms and use a wireless set-up. The DG814 is
close to 2 years old and has worked well. I'm trying to find out the
easiest way for me to get this up and running.
On trying to determine what is needed it sounds as if wireless routers
don't come with a built in modem? Is that so? Is there a 'one best way'
for me to go? I'll need a wireless card for each PC (that seems logical
to me)?
Many TIA
Jim

Verizon supplies a wireless modem router. It is a Westell 327W.

Following your info I googled it and then got sidetracked (as you do)
when another netgear came into view, a wireless one at that.
It looks as if I'm now sorted after a long day. Many thanks.
