Hello Kelly: A router's main function is to split the inbound signal from your modem several ways allowing more than one computer or other device such as a BrailleNote to access the internet at the same time. In order to have more than just your computer access that cable modem, you will need a router and some way to access that router with your BrailleNote. If you are using a BrailleNote with Keysoft 5.1 or earlier, you will need a low powered Ethernet adapter which will plug into your Braille Note's rear compact flash slot and then allow an Ethernet cable to be connected between the BrailleNote and the router. If you have Keysoft 6.1 or later, you can use a wireless card, assuming you buy a router with wireless capability, or the same low powered Ethernet adapter mentioned above.
you can obtain a router from most retail electronics stores for around $60 U.S. and you will find lots of help on this list to help you get it set up. hth Jeff
