No. Computer hardware is what is in the computer such as hard drive, motherboard etc. A router is a separate item.
A router "routes" network data from one connection on the router to another of the router connections using internal parameters to determine where to "route" the data. It uses internal tables usually set (programmed) by the owner or network administrator and by information contained in the network transmission data (where is it coming from and where should it go).
A wireless router is just a router with one or more radio transmitter/receiver that act as additional network conections with the additional programming to manage the wireless connections.
A router is a computer processor, memory, and the additional hardware to handle the (ethernet) network connections and the wireless connections). Some routers (the more expensive firewall routers) even have hard drives (or flash drives) and the ability to attach a keyboard, mouse and monitor for management purposes. The cheaper simpler routers usually are only managed by a web browser interface
Any computer with one or more ethernet network ports and/or wireless connectivity can be used as a router with the correct software installed.

What is a wireless access point for a desktop computer?
A Wireless Internet Access Point (WAP) is a device that allows wireless devices to connect to a wired network using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or other related standards. The WAP usually connects to a router (via a wired network) if it's a standalone device, or is part of the router itself.
Can you hook up to the internet with a stand alone computer?
Yes you can. If you have a DSL or Cable broadband internet you just need to hook the modem's ethernet cable to the computer and your set to go. (of course after you configure everything) If you don't have a ethernet port and just a wireless laptop then you will need either a wireless modem or a wireless Router. The Modem just hooks to the router then the router connects to all your networkable devices. I would vote for the wireless router as once you get a smartphone, iPad, WiFi Blueray player, WiFi HDTV, X-Box, etc, you will already be set up to hook them all up. Most wireless Routers usually have 4 ethernet ports as part of it also.
How two network 10 comp with internet using switch?
If you are running a modem that has an Ethernet port, plug the Ethernet port into the switch, along with all the computers. Actually you may want to get a "Router" for the extra "Hardware" Firewall and in case you get a wireless Printer, etc, make it a "wireless" Router. Most Wireless Routers come with a 4 port Lan also. They're coming out with Gigabit Routers (Lan ports) now so you won't lose your "local" Lan speed, IF you need it. (it wont make the internet faster) DSL/Cable modem------Router-------switch------computers, printers, etc. -------(wireless part of Router----wireless Printer, wireless computers, etc.)

Would a modem be like a router?
1. They are not the same. 2. A modem is a device used to send information to and receive from another computer or network. Modem stands for MOdulator/DEModulator and is normally used to send over phone lines. There are other applications (like satellite links, etc). 3. A router does just what it says. It routes signals on a network. One in a home application is normally used to share one access point to the internet between multiple computers. This is a bit of a simple answer but hopefully you get the idea!
