Yes and no. The ISP will provide the modem, which in the past has been a box with an ethernet port on it so that she can then connect her own router (be it wireless or not).

I switched from Verizon to the cable company last year and they tossed in a wireless router with the service (which is collecting dust in my basement because I like mine better).
