my old cable modem is going buggy and needs to be replaced... and my laptop has a wireless card plus i'm running Windows 7...
1. i have to have a modem and a wireless router, right? 2. do they make a combo unit for both of these? 3. and if so, is there any benefit to keeping them separate? 4. do i have to call my cable company to inquire about compatibility with my cable? 5. do i have to ensure compatibility of either of these units with the OS i am running?
i really want to cut the wire so i can surf in any room!!

jaysus, I would have LOVED to had stayed. If it wasn't so expensive and I could had secured a job, I found out it is VERY easy for me to get a dual citizenship and Irish passport. GOD woudl I had loved to stayed!!!!!!!!! As for the question at hand, this is an excellent product for your needs, AND is future proof!! It is the new technology that technology hasn't caught up to yet, but will be what you will need in the next 5 years or so. Might as well get it now www.intellinet-network.com/en-US/products/8172-wireless-n-adsl-2-4-port-modem-routerIf you didn't want that brand, I think bestbuy carries the Linksys version and it was pretty cheap, about $120. DON'T let the salesguys sale you a "today" version. They don't know what they are talking about! You want the wireless N version and the 802.11b. Don't buy a netgear, don't think they are up to par yet. Don't worry about your service provider, I think either of those products adjust to the providers speeds. No benefit in getting them seperate , if you really need that (because of phone line, or something) you can get a splitter adapter. THe only issue you may have, is if you use VOIP. I think both of those are POE also, which everyone will need for future electronics. I also think they maybe backwards compatible, which will work with any OS or 802.11 version.
