If the modem is external, then you either remove the power cable from the wall or flip the switch on the back to the off position. If the modem is internal then you need to click "Start" in windows, then "Run" and type MSCONFIG.EXE and select the modem and "Disable" it using the apropriate button in the window. Windows will then not recognise it on startup.

Most routers do not have a power switch (though some may). To power them off, simply remove the power adapter from your wall outlet/surge suppressor.

If you turn your router off would it mess up the settings on the router and would i have to reconfigure the router on my computer?

Turning off the router will not mess up the settings on the router. When you configure the router, it sames the information in memory. Some routers you must reset manually. Your configuration can be modified, but what ever settings you make are stored. Turn it off as much as you like. Sometimes if things get slow, turning the router off and restarting it will clean up some problems because it clears the cashe.
