Wireless routers are a necessary piece of equipment that you need if you have several computers in your home and you all want to have internet service at the same time. A modem is what connects your computer to your ISP DSL or cable line. You will need BOTH in your home if you all want to use your computers at the same time whilst being in different parts of the house and thus that is the main benefit of being wireless.
