Susan, Austin explained it right.

I have a Netgear wireless router I took out of service when I put in a new cable modem and router. It worked fine with DSL but I wanted to switch to a slightly different newer system. This would work for wireless or wired. If my move is typical, you may find a few spare routers if you check around among your acquaintances or via Freecycle or one of those other redistribution systems. Or see if you have a local used equipment store. There's one I've heard about here that I've never visited, but they have lots of used stuff at very low prices, no guarantees, etc. It sounds like the kind of business that could pop up anywhere as a place to go for items when people want to keep computer systems going on a budget.
