Its basically for your internet connection and to share the internet connection with more then one computer i think. I take it you're getting a new better connection then? They also have firewalls as well which gives more protection to your computer. Probably be able to get one from a shop like pc world or currys and they'll help you out with what one you need to get. Wouldn't cost alot either I don't think. Maybe about £30 i think. ...Although $ilvers will come along in a minute and say the exact opposite

Was I right? yeah! adsl modem is a modem for broadband! either USB or Ethernet some can have built in firewalls, and if you bought a wireless router, you could share the internet wirelessly if it has the right connections! your ISP (internet provider) would reccomend a modem to you that is guarenteed to work with you connection.

Oh but if youget a wireless one make sure you lock it, cus people within a certain distance can access yours and use it so they don't have to pay for a connection. I'll find out some more info on that for yous....unless...$ilvers?

yeah, every modern wireless router would have encryption on it so you can set a password, and only you can access the router - and internet connection!
i have a wireless access point and broadband router and on the scan thingy, i can pick up 2 other wireless networks, and because i can also share files, security is very important.
