Can you still have a wireless router without needing a wireless internet plan

lol wireless internet plans are stupidly named. All you need is an internet connection and a wireless router. And of course computers which can connect to the wireless router (via a wireless card).

No u dont need a wireless internet plan to use a wireless modem and yes u can have a wireless router without a wireless internet plan. You do need a internet account with your provider though.

The only time you need a wireless plan is when you are using a wireless modem from a cellular company. These work in the same way as a cell phone. You are connected to the internet through cellular towers, no home connection needed. The wireless modem and the cellular wireless modem are different and can not be used in exchange for one another.

you just use a wireless router. thats all they mean..
netgear 834 etc
only plan you need to have when using wireless.. is..
get a router with a built in firewall
upgrade the firmware for the router
change the default password on the router
enable WPA encryption (or your neighbours will use ur connection)

Nope. All you need is your standard ADSL internet plan and a wireless router.
