You don't need to change to a modem. I have the same type of set up, with Virgin broadband coming through the set top box. My ethernet cable plugs from the set top box into a Linksys wireless router and this works just fine, you could do the same.

When you choose a wireless router there are two types available, routers for cable broadband and routers for ADSL (BT lines). You must make sure your router is compatible with cable broadband, as the ADSL routers won't work with cable, and vice versa.
