Q: I kinda get the idea but i'm not sure. does that mean i could use my dsl (not wireless) with it to get internet on my ipod touch?
A: No. You need a Wireless Router. That is what connects to your DSL modem and wirelessly lets your ipod touch connect to the internet (via de DSL modem) http://www.home-network-help.com/images/wireless-router-network.jpg
