Then u have a modem+router+wireless. Basically, what is better between a wireless router and a wireless switch depends on your requirements. a wireless switch is just an extension to have a wireless connection.
If you need wireless at a distance or in second or third floor (at a distance from your router), then a wireless switch will be better, as you can place the wireless switch at a place apart from the router (ofcourse u connect it with the router through a cat cable), so that u get a good signal. whereas with wireless modem the range depends on where u keep the router.
if u already own a router, a wireless switch will be a cheaper option.
