Need advice. I do have a ActionTec GT724R modem now for my CenturyLink DSL internet service. Will i need another modem/router with wi-fi capability for my new iPad Mini? If so, can you advise which model to buy for this setup?
Since the ActionTec GT724R doesn't have Wi-Fi, yes, you'll need a Wi-Fi enabled router to use the iPad mini.
Was it provided by Century Link? If so, you may give them a call and see about swapping it our for one that has wireless capabilities. Century Link states you can get it from them by either leasing it from them for 4.95 a month, or purchasing a wireless adapter for 39.99.
