    > wireless modem

    this means cell phone: you need a contract with Tmobile or Verison....

    > wireless

    802.11a/b/c/n " wireless NIC" to connect to wireless "hotspots," such as
    some cafes, hotels...or your own router, signal supplied by an Internet
    Service Provider--DSL over telephone copper wires, cable over TV cable...

    Hi Rachel! Could you be confusing it for a wireless NIC? A wireless NIC (network interface card) could be what comes pre-installed in a laptop or a little deal that looks like a flash drive that plugs in to a USB port.
