Modem/Router

What do you mean by that? A router which is "ON" itself creates a wifi network if configured correctly.

Which modem/router you are referring to? A wired or wireless? DSL or ADSL? Can you be more specific please.
If your ISP is using DSL then a basic wireless router would do. If your ISP is providing services via ADSL then you need a Wireless router with ADSL modem.
It's a Compex ADSL modem/router that I use for my BSNL broadband connection. Can I create a wi-fi network just by using the functionalities of the modem/router? (i.e. without buying an additional wireless router?)
To note, I have a netgear wireless adapter too. Can this be of any use?

As u mention that you have a ADSL modem / router(I assumen it is modem+router), it will be enough to create a wireless network without any issues.
As far as the Netgear Wireless Adapter is concerned, this device will enable wifi internet of any of your pc / laptop that doesnt have an inbuilt wifi adapter.
So,you can configure wifi using your modem and use ur wireless adapter to use the wifi net on any pc/laptop.
hope that helps.

^It will have to be configured with specific ISP settings. Call your ISP for that.

Saswat, they have not refused. They just don't know how to go about it.
@Whitestar - I have finally gone through the articles linked by you. It seems to me, from these articles at least, that one needs an additional wifi router to set up connectivity.
Have I missed something?

You have a wireless ADSL modem cum router or wired ADSL modem cum router? If it's the latter, then you need an additional wireless router.
Moreover all D-Link & Linksys routers these days are plug & play for most isp's. All you need to do is give the login credentials iirc.

wireless router is very cheap now-a-days.this one in my opinion is a good option for tight budget:

Try Connectify app.
using connectify means person has to keep the pc/laptop on all the time for net access which is not suitable for long durations.it is only a temporary solution/stop gap measure.in the end a wireless router is the only permanent solution for such situations.
