We already had a dsl modem so the router we bought plugged into that modem.
Hi,
Could someone tell me if this router is about the same as the one George suggested below? I want to no if this one has a built in modem. Please help me out with this one.

What she needs is a wireless DSL Router.
For example, the US Robotics Wireless MAXg ADSL2+ Gateway combines an ADSL Modem with Wireless router for $139.99 - probably less from the likes of CompUSA, Radio Shack, etc..
You can see this at the following, but take care as the URL is long and may wrap, it should end in USR9108 http://www.usr.com/products/broadband/broadband-product.asp? sku=USR9108
The telephone point is simply the normal phone connection in the condo, where you would plug in your normal phone.
What happens is that you get a special filter cum splitter which plugs into the normal phone point. The splitter then has two sockets, one to put the phone back in again, and the other which connects to the ADSL Modem/Router.
So in effect the ADSL Wireless Router can stay beside the telephone point, while your PC requires a wireless network card to complete the connection between the router and PC.
George.

Hi,
She will be using DSL. So run the telephone cord from the wall jack to the back of the router? There's no telephone jack on the back of a router.
