and a IEEE instead of a modem/DSL? I don't know much about connecting to the internet when using a router. I really thought a router and modem was the same thing untill I realized after buying NetGear's N300 wireless gigabit router that I might have to buy a modem also.
On the requirements for the netgear router it says that I need cable or dsl and modem with ethernet connection.
Then right below that, it stats that I need a IEEE 802 2.4 ghz and a ethernet port......windows 7 or xp ETC....
QUESTIONS BELOW
I'm confused, I have a wireless IEEE 802 2.4 ghz adapter. would i really need a dsl/cable modem if I have wireless bult into my desktop?
A phone line that has a internet service in use work with a router also?
NOTE: I dont have a internet service comming though my phone line at the moment. I figure I should just ask first instead of paying for a service when I'm using a free wifi connection. BTW, if you wondering why I would pay for a service if I have a free wifi connection, it's because the service is extremely slow.
