So I am confused. I have a Qwest Actiontec M1000 DSL modem on my 2008 Dell computer. What I really want to do is find a CHEAP way of getting another computer to connect to a TV (as the moniter) it a completely different room in my house. My bright idea was to buy an inexpensive computer or laptop, wireless keyboard/mouse, and then another DSL modem. . I find these items at thrift stores,craig's list, and ebay; but that's when the confusion takes over; how is a DSL modem different from a DSL modem router? Which do I need? Is what I want even possible? Sorry about the length of this question, I am disabled and I'm just trying to find a more comfortable way to work and use my cool computer. Thanks, joy
