Sorry just to make it clearer. I've moved back home where they already have cable (VM) using a Motorola SB4200 Modem attached to the family pc via usb. I've moved back in with my pc and want the internet on mine, in my room. So instead of trailing cables I'm going to buy a router and connect wirelessly.

So I need to buy a new "cable" router (not an "adsl" one) that will attach to the modem via Ethernet. Correct?? and then an adapter for my pc.

Do I need to have both pcs running through the router then? Couldn't I leave the family pc directly connected to the Modem (via usb)??
