I suggest you purchase a separate DSL modem, and a wireless router. Do
NOT get a combined DSL modem/router/wireless as seem to be a problem.
Your existing USB DSL modem will make a nice paperweight or door stop.

Not enough information to offer a specific suggestions. For example,
how much money do you want to spend? Need any exotic features?

I suggest you did through the wireless router reviews and articles at:
<http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/content/view/86/106/>
and see if you can find anything interesting.

The comparison chart at:

should help eliminate a few losers.
