Windstream Communications offers a DSL modem with a built-in wireless router. If you already have a router on your network and want to keep using it, put the Windstream modem's router in bridge mode. Bridge mode disables the Windstream router's ability to pass out IP addresses. It then acts as a standard DSL modem and allows your existing router to handle IP address allocation.
