    Hi,
    I've just gotten a fixed wireless broadband service and i'm looking for a wireless modem/router so that I can use my laptop all over the house.
    The connection is a ethernet (lan) cable, what type of router is needed for this, I can only find DSL or Cable types mentioned in ads?

    Would this one work?

    http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=509867#

    It says connection types are Gigabit Ethernet (4xLAN, 1xWAN)?

    You need a router, not a modem. Stay away from Belkin, they're crap. Look for a Linksys. Probably best getting one with wireless-N standard now too.

    There's an aerial on the roof getting the signal from a transmitter on a hill a few miles away
