    Do 'internal' Routers exist for Tower PC's?


    Is there a PCI Card type Router that can be used in place of an external Router?

    Like most PC Users, my home has an External Modem which attaches to the Internet.
    In turn, we have a Router that attaches to the External Modem.
    Then we have our PC which attaches to the Router.
    That's all fine, however might there be a device that could eliminate some of that clutter?

    If there were a PCI type device or two devices that could be installed internally in our PC, taking power from the PC but only occupying an unused PCI slot, why not? It would eliminate two Power Cords plugging into our UPS, free up some space used by the external Modem and Router. I have tried to search for such a device but haven't used the correct key words or perhaps it just doesn't exist.

    Has any Forum Member heard of such a device(s)?

    :)

    Do 'internal' Routers exist for Tower PC's?

    The issue with that is that it requires a WiFi signal to be present. @mike Lynch would have only a modem with a single Ethernet port on it, no WiFi signal. There is no way to connect the ASUS PCE-ACEE WLAN Internal Router to the Ethernet port on the modem.

    Also, the Asus website for that device says it is only a WiFi adapter, not a router:
