How can i take a modem and connect a wireless router and a different wire to a computer so i can used wireless on one and wired on the other i tried a splitter but no luck it was a phone sppliter?
| modem | wireless router - - - wireless PC ... | | | +-------------------- wired PC ... | hub ------------------- wired PC \------------------------ wired PC ... Routers have extra ports for wired PC but if you need more you need to have a hub. A hub though uses a cross-over cable to the router all the rest uses a regular network cable. All PCs of the network must point to the router's IP address as the default gateway and the network connection is allowed in their respective firewalls if any.

Have set up new router when you click on to see if its connected you see a small yellow warning circle is something wrong?
I have no idea if anything is wrong or not. However, my router, had to be plugged in and programmed. I had to plug the wire that normally goes between the router and the modem between the router and the computer. Then I had to type in passwords. After that, I plugged the router into the modem and the little yellow light turned green. You may have a booklet or you may be able to see an instruction manual on the internet.
Can you connect to routers to a cable modem?
Not directly. To create a local wireless ethernet network connected to a cable modem a Wireless Ethernet Router Box (WERB) would be required. It connects to the Cable Modem (CM) using an ethernet cable.If all you want is to have a local wireless ethernet network, the WERB would do that for you and you won't need to use the 2-Wire DSL wireless modem router.The 2-Wire DSL wireless modem router really does the same as CM + WERB but for connection of local computers and peripherals to a 2-Wire DSL ISP instead of to a cable ISP.Normally a cable modem connects to an ISP's cable network on one side and, on the other side, to either a single computer or to an ethernet router which could be either of the hard-wired "local cable" type or a "local wireless" type. The ethernet router then connects to several local computers or peripheral devices such as printers, scanners, etc.A DSL wireless modem router connects to an ISP's 2-wire copper telephone line on one side and, on the other side, via a local wireless ethernet to several local computers or other peripherals such as printers, scanners, etc., each of which must have a local wireless ethernet connectivity device. It is not clear from the question that you want to enable local computer users to connect reliably to either the ISP handled by the DSL wireless modem router or to the ISP handled by the cable modem. If that is what you want, then, if you are not already familiar with setting-up ethernet devices -- which may be the case as you asked this question here -- either get an ethernet router expert to help you or read the instructions that come with all modems and routers to find out what to do.
