Switching from DSL to Cable Modem... Wireless router?

Yes, you can use your current wireless router with your new modem.

When you get the new modem - Connect from the Ethernet port on the modem to the WAN port on the wireless router.

Look at my web page for details and pictures:

If it only has 4 lan ports without the necessary single WAN port (for a total of 5 Ethernet ports) than you are out of luck. Buy a new router.

DSL modem + router combos are very common and Netgear has been manufacturing them for a while. However, I don't know if anyone if making a router + cable modem device.

Your Old RTR wud work just great!!

Just Turn the Power on your Old RTR

Reset it for 25 Secs (Powered ON)

Make the Connection

Cable Modem--> Internet Port on RTR

Comps---> LAN Ports

Turn OFF RTR, MODEM, COMPS

Turn ON Modem 1st WAIT, Then RTR, Then Comps

U shud be Online on all WIRED Comps

Just do the Wireless Settings for your RTR.

The Above steps will work best with Comcast, Charter & Cox Internet Service Providers.

Your old router will work great, but it wont be plug and play.

Since your moving from a dsl (PPPOE) connection to Cable (Most Likely a Dynamic IP connection) you will need to setup the routers WAN section for your new ISP.

THere should not be any problem if wireless worked with DSL

it would be working with your Cable modem too.

Your old router will still work just fine.

if your modem separated will work perfectly

Not sure if that's correct

Can anyone tell what is the right answer for this question?
