Are you looking for a cable modem or a DSL modem?  They are different.

We have DSL, and have used a Cisco 678 modem for years.  It has no
wireless capability.  I imagine it would work on any DSL system,
but you might need to find a computer geek to set it up.  :-)

$10+ on eBay.  And lots of them.

If you need to split the signal to more than one computer, then
I think an Ethernet "switch" works the best.  Netgear makes a
variety of these that have no wireless capability (we've got
an FS108).

If you've got a used computer / electronics recycling place
nearby, you might be able to find these for $5.  In this
wireless world, they are consider obsolete...
