belkin wireless G modem on cable

I bought the above modem today for my new laptop. My dad has the older version and has never had any problems with it. We will be using it for a laptop just surfing the net and also for the wii online gaming. Can anyone advise if this modem would be ok for what we want? It is still in the packaging so could be exchanged.

Thanks
Louise

    Is it a Modem or a Router or Both.

    If it has on it anywhere ADSL or ADSL2+ or something along those lines then it is not compatible. Otherwise it should be fine.

    If you post the actual model number then people will be able to check for you.

    I am going wireless for the first time and my dad bought me the updated version of his router as he has not had any probs with it before. I want to use mine for the wii but am not sure if it is sufficient. My dad has never used his for online gaming you see.
