MODERATORS
Not quite clear to me, what you actually need. Only WiFi - then you'd need an access point, not a router. A router wold have something on the other end too, like fiber or ADSL.
That usually means a WiFi-Ethernet router. ADSL requires a modem, which can be a standalone bridge modem or a modem-router. I've found it better to have modems and routers separate.
I have a modem. I connect the Ethernet cable from the modem into a wifi router.
