Combined Cable Modem/Router

I'd recommend against this unit. you are better off buying a seperate cable modem and seperate router. this avoids the situation where you have a single point of failure. for example, if you cable modem goes down, your still be able to transfer files from computer to computer on your network. also, if you router does down, you can still connect directly the cable modem to work on the internet. this assumes you aren't running a switch.
anyway, of none of these points matter to you then get the combo unit.

That device is not a cable modem and will not work on a cable provider's network. It is a DSL modem and router.
There are some combined cable modems/routers/wireless access points, such as this one:

that's not it
That is not a cable modem. It is a DSL modem, for use on a DSL-equipped telephone line.

You would be looking for the Linksys wcg200 all in one unit, for $US pricing look around $110-$150. mysimon.com is a good place to search.
