Question about modems vs routers

Post Body

TW is now charging a monthly fee for my modem, so I want to buy my own. I have no idea what I'm looking for. This basic Cisco one seems to work fine, but I do wish there were a reset button.

I only have one laptop, but I really would like wireless if I can get it for cheap. I don't have it now. Do I need a router for that? Do I need both a modem and router for that?

I have very little $$ so I'm wondering if there are big differences in cheap vs not cheap. I watch hulu, browse the web, and would like to download books for my kindle without walking to the library for the wireless.

Thank you for any help.
