Can someone please help me to understand what kind of wireless router I would need to work with my HP desktop computer in order to set up my Wii and use Netflix? I have a Samsung LCD series 6 TV and currently a Qwest ActionTec M1000 wired modem. My computer is about 9ft. from the TV. I keep reading and get more confused with all the different kinds. I do know a N is better than a G and that's all I know. I don't need anything fancy or expensive.

A big thank you in advance...

I think you already have a modem/router combo box, so you don't need anything more.

Hi, Janisum.

Any router should do. N would be better for multimedia, but I think that all current modems are N (I'm not sure, though).
