The first one also requires a modem. The second one has it built in.

First one is just a network connection point, second one also has a broadband modem built in.

You will have a black box that plugs into your wall on one cable and the PC on another. You need a wireless CABLE router and plug that into one of the sockets where the cable from the PC goes. Make sure it's a cable router, not a broadband router.

Cheers guys, that makes sense, couldn't find which my current one is as the labels peeled off.
I need a modem/router.

Many thanks
