That Verizon link has pictures - the ones with antenna are the wireless ones.
Sure you can try to see if you get a neighbors wifi signal. They may not care or they would have a password/encrypted signal on it. You can always ask if some signals show up if you can use it until you get your own...

Sorry I meant Verizon will do an exchange, the old modem for the new wireless combo modem, I can't remember the price they quoted me, but I already had bought a new wifi router and too late to return it.
Might have been $59.00/69.00 or such. but if you can piggy back on a neighbors signal and they are OK with it, use it.

I go to my computer guy and see if he sells a wireless adaptor USB thing. I plug it in. It will prompt me to put in a cd right? I do the installation. Some screen will come up and I just follow directions and if it finds a signal in my nearby surroundings, I should be on the internet, RIGHT?? Wow, I have officially entered Star Trek territory. And my husband can't even use the VCR. ROFL. Melody

I don't know how the prices are @ computer guy place, I usually compare prices via amazon or weekly adds @ local stores.
But the usb adapter I read about on amazon - said it has the program built into it and runs when you plug it in. So no cd to mess with , maybe they are all that way.
