when I hooked up to time warner cable and high speed broadband I had the option of a wireless router but I opted to go with a wired router. a wireless transmits a signal to a receiver/transmitter which plugs into a spare usb port on your machine. the router communicates with this "new" port. my cable modem has an rj45 a cat 5E cable that goes between the router and the lan card on the computer. for digital phone I have a rj11 that connects my phone to the modem.
