DON'T get a modem/router. These are for ADSL. For cable, the MODEM is supplied by NTL (in your case it is built into the Samsung STB). Apart from that, any wireless router should do the job. As far as the speed issue is concerned - you have a 2MB connection. If you are (say) downloading at max speed from both PCs at tyhe same time, you will see a drop in speed. For 'normal' usage (browsing, etc) you won't notice any difference.
