My grandmother paid my to build her a computer so she can chat online. But she doesn't want me to run 20'-40' of cable around the apartment. So I want to go wireless only for her computer since the cable modem is in my room.

Should I purchase a wireless router? or a wireless access point? Will I be able to replace my Cable modem Time Warner is renting me? or just I stick with their modem and get the wireless AP?

if you don't have a router already, get a wireless router. If you already have one, just get an access point. You won't be able to replace our cable modem no matter which way you go.
