There's no significant security benefit - in fact, no significant benefit at
all - in using a DSL modem plus a wireless router instead of an all-in-one
device.

Hi,
I am to order QWest DSL and construct home network, I have 2 laptop
computers at home and I want the network to be wireless.
I was thinking I need to buy DSL modem for DSL interface and a
wireless router for the whole home wireless coverage.
But I just realize that actually I can just use one wireless DSL
modem, that should do the job, right? Maybe a seperate router have
enhanced security benifit, but I may not need it anyway.
One laptop is of Intel Centrino chip and for the other I will use a
Cisco wireless PCI card. Both run Windows XP.
QWest promotion has $50 rebate on modem/router, I think I can just
order their wireless modem, that should be good enough. Am I right?
Thanks.
