1. No, unless it can extend the wireless transmission. E.G. You won't be able to set-up a 2nd network if there is 1 already connected to the source.
2. Yes you have to pay for an internet service independently of the wireless router. The router cannot generate wifi for you for free.
3. Yes.

If you already pay for internet then adding a router might just give you more access throughout your home, I think to advise you properly you should just tell us what you want.

Wireless routers are very easy to set up.

No, the WiFi does not cost you anything - you'll just need to have an internet connection in your home.

Yes, you can run multiple routers.

I'll add that a lot of the modems that ISPs provide these days serve as not just a modem but also a router - and unless you have the most very basic modem, it should have wireless router functionality.

* Will the wireless router work even if I already have a router in my house:

Routers are made to route information through the internet. You can have one router connected to another router and it will work just fine. If the first router you are connected to say has a ip address range of 192.168.1.0-255 You can add another router to this to extend your current network. Most the time you would do a switch to do this. So yes it will work if you have a router in your house.

* Will I have to pay monthly or w/e it is for wifi:
When you go shoping for a router make sure it comes with wifi. This is like asking if you bought an iphone do you get charged monthly to use the camera. The answer is no you want.
* Is it easy to setup?
You are looking to buy a home router so when you go shoping online you will not run into programing routers probably. 99% of the time.

Please respond with the following and i will find the best router for you.

• Your current internet speed.
• Your fastest internet speed in your town.
• Do you use apple or windows products
• Playing video games mostly or watching videos
• Is the place you live in the walls made of concrete or wood
• Are you living on the same floor as the router.

Thanks hope to hear from you soon
