Probably no difference. The modem part is the built in ADSL modem.

I don't like using just one box, but if you insist, you're on the
right track. What you need is a "wireless router with built in ADSL
modem", or an "ADSL modem with built in wireless router".

>3. If an ADSL wireless router is all I need to get wireless broadband

The ADSL part is the modem. If it says ADSL, it has a DSL modem
inside.

>4. Do I actually need any kind of modem at all to connect to broadband
>at home?

Yes. I'll assume you have ADSL service from some provider. If not,
you need a subscription. The broadband service does not come out of
thin air. I'm trying to decode what you mean by "connect to
broadband". It takes two to tango. What's on the other end of your
"broadband"?
