Re: Question from someone new to DSL

You have two options.
1) DSL modem with router+wireless built in - E.g 2wire 2700HG-B
2) DSL modem (no router, etc built in/ - eg st516) + external router (Like Linksys WRT54GL - this router can do a special function useful if you will be downloading torrents)

Both perform the same option, and you can use a modem like in #1 in "bridge mode" and still use the secondary router to do the routing and wireless (again, if you'll be using torrents.)

Cheapest and easiest option is #1
"best" option is #2, using any modem of your choice.
