Wireless modems which is best and cheap?

I have 2 laptops and 1 phone , and i move it around all the time so wireless is good. I'm looking for a modem. Any suggestions? I'm a student so cheaper would be fine
Remember, best buy will price match. Make sure you are pricing the exact version; you walk in and show them the price. Best Buy will verify. I have had a discount as high as $49.00 price matching.
at bestbuy.com you will find a list of companies they will match, there are several online companies they will match.
Find this from a company Best Buy price matches against:
Model: E1200-NP
SKU: 6571476

COMPATABLE ROUTER FOR SB6121 MODEM

i have motorola SB6121 MODEM . WHAT IS A COMPATABLE ROUTER? I HAVE A LINKSYS WIRELESS-G W/SPEED BOOSTER BROADBAND ROUTER MODEL# WRT54GS. I DON'T NEED SOMETHING EXPENSIVE.
Your Linksys may have been a DSL router, technically this could work if configured correctly. Or you could get one of these listed below, easier on the setup portion, starts working as soon as you plug it in.

Can SBG6580 wireless modem be hooked to phone line internet instead of coaxial cable

No, this model will only work with a cable provider. You are looking for a "DSL" modem which will work with Carriers such as Century Link.
