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?
Yes it does. thanks.
and I don't have a router.

this is what Charter gave me. I think it's the service. I don't understand
"do I have a router currently?"
I have a router question. I have my PC hard wired now and would like to
keep it that way. If I get a wireless modem can I plug my PC into the modem
and it would be considered hard wired? Then the wireless function would
pickup the wife's tablet?
