question about cable modem and router

[bigmac9787]

I just signed up for metrocast cable internet and they have a $5 monthly cable modem rental fee. They said I can bring the modem back and they will drop the fee in the future so I was wondering what a good modem would be. Also can I purchace a modem/wireless router combo like I had with my old AT&T DSL line or do I have to purchase a seperate router to get wifi? If so what are some good modems and routers to look at.

Cable modems aren't bad. You have plenty to choose from.

This is the one I recommend.

I myself wouldn't get a wireless gateway, I would get separate units.
