Wireless routers

by comper1 Mar 25, 2006 1:31AM PST

I'm going to purchase my first wireless router. I have what is probably a simple question but I can't find a clear yes or no answer - can/does a router replace the DSL modem I currently have hooked to my computer? - in other words, when I buy the router, I won't have to have the router AND the modem.
