Not quite sure what you want to do. You want to make your broadband
connection wireless? For that, you will need a wireless access point
(WAP), which you can get for as low as $20. Then you slap that onto
the existing network. Once you set this up, you will be able to use a
laptop within your home via the wireless connection.

Most WAP's you would buy today already have a DSL router (but not the
modem that yours has). What you're looking for us usually called a
"wireless router" even though in your case all you need is the WAP
that is part of that.

Example of what you need: Netgear WG602. But any other wireless
router would work too.

If this isn't want you want to do, what else do you mean?

If it's a *very* recent purchase, return it to the store and get a wireless
version, such as the WGR614 from Netgear, or pick any other vendor.
