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...
