I've never owned a WiFi capable phone before and never had a wireless computer network set up at home (I have a cable modem and use a desktop PC instead of a laptop so a wireless network isn't necessary for me). I plan on buying the Moto Droid X in a couple weeks and have heard that WiFi speeds are generally faster than 3G speeds so I'd like to take advantage of them.
I'd like to keep my current cable connection that I'm using now for my computing needs. I know I'd need a wireless router if I want to use WiFi at home with the new phone. However, is there a router out there or some other type of device that would let me maintain my cable modem for my desktop PC usage but allow me to connect via WiFi only on my phone? I doubt such a thing exists but wanted to throw it out there anyway. Is my only option to set up a wireless network at home that my desktop PC must use?
