there has been a misunderstanding between modem and router. some people use only a modem to connect wirelessly and some use a modem and a router. The fact is there are two types. first type is a modem with built in router, second is router itself. this will clear your mind. you don't have to buy a router to go online, just a get modem with router built in
Router will use connecting to modem
wireless modem is a modem built in with wireless router, people use router seperately to connect to internet because their modem doesn't have a built in router. you can replace a wireless modem to a wirelss n modem.

It depends on what you are using it for. I am using one with no modem to connect to my printer.
first, you need to pay company such as att, Verizon, comcast to let you have internet, second, they will give a modem that has a router built in already, if not you need to get one yourself. remember there are two types of modems, first one is modem with built in router and one without router.Yesh

if modem has wireless capability then a router is not needed
