I am looking for a reliable modem+wireless router combination for my laptop, wireless printer, magic jack plus, TV. Is there any that will allow you to connect to cable or DSL. I winter in Texas and the park has cable. When I am home my hook up is DSL (don't know if I am using the right term so I mean " telephone line"). Therefore, if there is such a creature it would be more beneficial if I could have both connection options on one modem/wireless router combination. I do not know a lot about networking so do not understand many abbreviated terms that you would most likely use. Could you please use full terms. Thank you Barb Beath

No, the combo units are either cable or DSL.

If you aren't really a tech type it would probably be easier to buy an inexpensive DSL modem/router and cable modem/router that you could set up for each location once each and then just change the connections when you move.
