Im moving over to Virgin Broadband (cable). I will be wireless, still deciding which router to get, but do I need a router/modem? Ive noticied how some routers are just routers and some say router and modem.

Basically I will need the internet connected 24/7 and will need a router that can offer this. I dont want to have to switch the pc on for the internet to be started up, like I say I need it on all the time.

I take it with some routers I will have to plug in my virgin modem into the router? Im looking for a way round this where I only need to use just the router, like I currently have with my adsl router, all I need with this is the router I think it has a built in modem , hope you guys know what I mean, can you recommend anything that is a good price, reliable and easy to set up.

Thanks
