I'll answer your two questions here. First, a modem and router are two
different devices. The modem is what takes the cable signal and converts
it to internet, a router is like a cable splitter, it takes the single
input and splits it into several outputs (typically 4). A wireless router
does the same and also sends out the signal wirelessly.
I'm guessing your current set up is cable -> modem -> PC. To add wireless
access you would set it up cable -> modem -> wireless router -> PC
(wired). Does this make sense?
