I think you mean an "Gateway" or "Router"

And MOST wireless gateways/routers come with 4 LAN ports (except that stupid Google router), so you can connect your PS3 and PC with a cable if you wanted.

If you have a good modem already, then just a router will do, a gateway is an all-in-one device and if the modem part of it fails, you need to buy a completely new device, its easier to setup bur it gets expensive if 1 thing breaks.
