I'm not really up on this wireless malarky, but this is a reasonable guide to the standards available

- I've seen people say that it's a good idea to have the router & the wireless NIC's from the same manufacturer, I can't verify that, but it sounds good:)

The cable modem does come with an ethernet port which connects to the router using a standard cat5 cable.
