Router/Modem Troubles

After looking up all this router/modem stuff online, I'm going to just go into a store like Fry's and buy one, as long as it's not twice the price I'm seeing online or anything. I have Windows 7 so it has to be compatible with that (nothing I've been finding lists Windows above Vista) and it has to be a router/modem for cable that connects to multiple computers, one with a different version of windows (I don't remember which version Michael has). I have a built-in wireless card. I would like it today so tomorrow we can set it up with Comcast. So far, aside from the mousepad thingee, I love my new computer.

New Idea on Router

Apparently modems are very expensive, so I just bought a wireless router and planned on continuing to use my Comcast rented modem. However, my mother pays the same amount each month for her modem and it's set up for wireless. SO tomorrow my mother will talk to Comcast and hopefully exchange my modem for one with wireless capabilities (same price as my current modem) and then we'll just keep renting the modem/router for $5/month for now. I will probably return my router. That would be good for my bank account. Though this is all very draining and frustrating. I hope Michael can set up the new router/modem without difficulty.
