Usually Time Warner will provide a modem for free with the service and then
charge you if you need a router. If you need a modem any DOCSIS 2.0 or 3.0
modem will work, you can even find people sell them real cheap on craigslist.
As for a router I would recommend Asus RT-N12 only $40 and gives you a rock
solid router.

Here is a decent modem and this is the same one I have for my TWC service.
Here's a comparison of different mid-level wireless routers. I selected these
model routers because they support dual band capability, multiple 802.11
protocols, and multiple external antennas giving you the most coverage in the
least complex setup. Keep in mind that getting your signal to penetrate through
the house and cover your yard may still require the use of range extenders.
Bear in mind range limits and possible sources of interference (another list of
interference sources, and another) when planning to cover large areas, for
devices that operate outside, their signal has to be able to travel the
expected distance and penetrate through the house to get to its closest access
point. Another option could be to get an external outdoor antenna that can
replace connect to the router and run that out to your roof for optimum outdoor
coverage.
Trying to cover both indoor AND outdoor reliably can be difficult, ask Alex
Kot, Chris Egeland, or Craig Bergdorf for more information as I'm most familiar
with consumer grade product that may not achieve your goal. And as someone who
must coordinate voice radio comms coverage between different sites every year,
signal issues can be difficult to anticipate and troubleshoot.

I got a dumb modem at Wal-Mart for my twc. Get a nice router / WiFi device.
Especially if you need the range.
