You have to get a wireless router to connect to your modem...go to newegg.com and get a wireless router. Or go to best buy and get wireless router. Don't get a belkin. Go to walmart and get a wireless router. Don't get a belkin.

There is no such thing as a wireless modem? I will be more than happy to get rid of the modem have for a wireless modem.

You can get a combination modem/router. However, before buying something like that, you need to contact your ISP and find out what will work with your DSL connection.

No unfortunately there is no such thing as a wireless modem. I mean, there might be a device (modem) that can dial to qwest, and at the same time, as kegobeer said, has a built in wireless router, but that will cost you more than to just use your current modem, and attach a router that you can purchase from anywhere to the modem. That way any laptops (that's right, more than one machine (up to 4)) can connect using your qwest ISP.
Just remember, if you get it from Bestbuy or Walmart, don't get a Belkin. The best ones are Linksys, D-link. Did I mention don't get a Belkin? Not that you can't get a good Belkin, it's just that among all the cheap routers, the only ones that you can't go wrong with are Linksys and Dlinks....of course if you order from newegg.com, they have user reviews. So go ahead and get the cheap ones from newegg if they have good user reviews.
