Thanks, Son-in-law is the PC guy, and he's coming it 3 weeks. I will get
him to install it.

That depends on your system. If you have cable, there is probably a tap on
the back of it to plug in a router. Check the documentation. You can plug
the model number and brand in to google and see where to plug it in if you
find a PDF for your router.
My router from AT&T has the wireless built in. If you see an antennae
.......... (see above)
Sometimes, you have to get a reverse wired cable to connect the 2 routers,
so look for instructions on that too. The wireless usually has wired ports
for stuff. You will log in to the router to set things just like going to
a web page, only with numbers. (192.168.1.1 or something)
I hate network stuff, but you can figure it out if you take a logical
approach and don't let it beat you up.
LOL, my logical approach is to have my son-in-law approach it.
Ho Ho Ho!

do I have to replace the router I have now, or is the wireless something
that adds to it?

You can test your speed here: _http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/_
(http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/) With cable you should have 20-30mbps,
depending on your package.
I suggest a dual band router, either the new "AC" standard or the previous
"N". My speed is 35mbps on a wired connection. With my previous "B/G"
standard router I would get ~6mbps on wireless devices (phones, laptops).
Now with the Asus dual band N router I get 28mbps on wireless devices,
definitely worth the upgrade.
My Tivos use the wireless as well, but I will probably be hard wiring
them, as there is occasional stuttering if you stream an HD program from one
to
the other.
