My wife and I recently moved and our new internet provider uses DSL internet instead of cable (TBH, I am not even sure I am using the right terminology here). Basically for my whole gaming life, I have plugged coaxial into the modem, hard wired to the gaming pc and had a router for wifi. Here, there is no coaxial, it looks like the ethernet/fat phone line/networking type wires.
The tech kept calling it ethernet, but from what I can tell on the internet, it's called DSL, or at least that is the type of modem.
1. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good DSL modem that is good for gaming? I am so in over my head and money is kind of tight (new house, baby on the way, etc), I want to make sure I get the right modem the first time and don't get one, have to return, get another, etc.
2. Does getting one that includes a router affect the quality? Is it still better to have one dedicated modem and one router, or is getting one that is a combo fine?
