Where is a wireless router connected to a computer or modem?

A wireless router will usually be connected directly to a high speed modem between the modem and any other device. This allows the router to correctly pass internet requests from the local network (computers connected wirelessly or to a standard port) to the ISP (the high speed modem connected to the Internet port). Connecting a wireless router to a computer would be unusual but it could function if connected to the network port on the computer provided the router-computer connection was properly configured. In this case the computer would have to be configured to route.

A modem is a serial port interface to a telephone line, allowing you to create dialup connections to other modem equipped computers. Often, a modem card includes a serial port interface, a COM port.
