All routers perform the same action. They allow you to hook up multipule computers, and also giving your network security. Many people debate between which routers work better, and which have more reliability, i would recommend researching online and find some reviews. Routers do not "power" computers. There is a technology called power over ethernet but it's generally used for network attached storage devices or routers rather than "computers."

If you do have a wireless router on, you don't need any other computer to be on, say if you have a laptop downstairs, and a computer with the router upstairs, the computer can be off, but the router has to stay on, and you can access the internet using the laptop from downstairs, if you have a good enough signal. Hope this helps!

If you buy Xbox live how do you hook it up?
I'm not an expert on the subject, but as far as I know you can connect to Xbox LIVE by: -Wireless -Ethernet Cable -ICS (Internet Connection Sharing, must have ethernet cable) I use ICS, and it works pretty well. For wireless, first you need to buy a wireless adapter (Available at all good retail shops), plug it in to the back off your Xbox and voila! The further away you are from your router/modem, the worse the connection will be. For ethernet cable connection, use the ethernet cable supplied with the Xbox. Again, plug one end into the Xbox, the other end into your router/modem, and voila! Your connection will usually be medium/good with an ethernet cable. If you are too far away from your router/modem, but close to your computer, use ICS. You need to plug one of the cable into the Xbox, and one end into your PC/laptop. Then, on your computer, go to Windows Help and Support, search "enabling ICS", then click "using ICS (Internet Connection Sharing). Then, to the right, click "enabling ICS", and follow the on-screen instructions. I hope I have helped. Please message me back if it has worked =)
What is the difference between internet and Ethernet?
Sort of the same as the difference between a printing press, and the truck that delivers papers to homes. Ethernet is a good way to connect computers together in a local area network, or LAN, so they can communicate with each other or each connect to a separate computer or router. Internet is a good way to connect people to usable information.
Do you have to have a router?
No, but its a good idea. A good router does more than just share the connection to multiple computers. They also provide a certain level of firewalling and can protect your computer from intrusion attempts.
