So I've been looking to upgrade my router as I have a fairly basic one and what I constantly find is there are either modem routers or wireless routers.
Now I've read up a bit about all the terms and, from what I understand, one can either get a modem router or a modem + wireless router, but a modem is essential nonetheless.
But now I looked at my current setup and my router seems to be a wireless router and is connected to a Telkom AC Adapter which is connected to the phone line, and now I don't know where that fits into the whole chain, is the adapter acting like a modem and can I get rid of it if I get a modem/router or am I understanding it wrong?
If anyone can explain to me the whole home network setup in basic terms that'd be great
If you could recommend some routers as well that'd be awesome, not looking for something high-end, just a decent AC router as I'm only on a 4Mb ADSL Telkom uncapped account and I'd say there aren't too many devices connected at once, most demanding would be when my friend comes over to LAN DOTA 2 and also I might have to go wireless for my PC if my room gets rearranged and the PC is moved away from the router (currently connected via ethernet cable).
