Help needed please,

I used to have ADSL broadband via bt phone line and used a belkin ADSL modem with built in wireless router which worked fine. My problem is I have changed to telewest broadband which uses the co-axial cable for broadband. Can anyone give me some advice please on whether I can just get a wireless router and connect this to the telewest modem or do I need a new modem with built in wireless router??? If it helps my current telewest modem is a Motorola SB5100 (basically a small black thing with power and co-axial inputs, usb and ethernet outputs) Sorry if this has been answered already but i've looked on the forum and can't find what i'm looking for (I am simple!!!) Please help!!!!

thanks
Mike

Get a Wireless Cable/DSL Router with a RJ45 WAN Port and connect it to the Modem, correct.

Thanks for your speedy reply, just one quick question, will that connect straight to the ethernet port output on the back of my current modem??
Thanks
