There are various types of wireless modems. A wireless antenna will connect you to a wireless network, while a Ethernet cable simply connects from desktop to modem. To obtain a digital version of your wireless manual, contact the modem manufacturer by phone or e-mail.

How do you connect a wireless access point to a network switch that gets Internet from a cable modem?

There are at least two ways. First, you connect the wireless router directly to the cable modem, and then the switch in the wireless router. You have to connect the cable coming from the modem in the wireless router internet port. Second, you connect the wireless router to the switch, again the cable coming from the switch you have to connect on the wireless router internet port. It's better to put the wireless router just after the modem, but it's not required.
