a. Routers are more expensive than bridges.
b. Routers operate at the first three-layers; bridges operates at the first two layers.
Routers are not designed to provide direct filtering the way the bridges do. A
router needs to search a routing table which is normally longer and more time
consuming than a filtering table.
c. A router needs to decapsulate and encapsulate the frame and change physical
addresses in the frame because the physical addresses in the arriving frame
define the previous node and the current router; they must be changed to the
physical addresses of the current router and the next hop. A bridge does not
change the physical addresses. Changing addresses, and other fields, in the
frame means much unnecessary overhead.

Not all modems are a combined modem/router. Some companys only supply the modem and if you have more then one networkable device then you can get a separate router yourself.
How does a wireless router booster work?
A wireless router booster works in one of two ways. The first way is by providing an extended wireless signal range. And secondly by creating a bridge between wired devices and the wireless connection without the need for new configuration or extra cables.
What connecting device do you use for a small LAN for two or more connected networks?
For a small LAN network, a switch is best. To connect two or more LAN networks, a router is required. (2) From Jean Andrews CompTIA A+ sixth edition (page #852): You can use a crossover cable to connect to computers without a switch or hub making it the simplest network of all. For two or more you will need a switch, hub, or router.
Do you have to hook the router up to a computer?
No - a router can connect to a computer, another router, a switch, a hub, a bridge or a modem. If you are connecting to the Internet via DSL or cable company you will need a modem/router to connect to them. You then attach your computer (or computers) to that router. Routers are useful because they make decisions about which way a packet of data goes - this network or this network? If you have one network that doesn't go anywhere (connect to the Internet or another network) a router is of no use to you and a switch generally does wonderfully and is cheaper than a router.

You have to choose which router is the main one. After that you can configure second router to create "bridge" with the main one.

If you put your second router next to the first one, the answer is no. You can put the second router in another part of building and create so called bridge which allows to increase coverage.

One method that accounts for all the overhead in a plant, for example, can be included in a single kind of overhead allocation.
What is a bridge modem?
I'm not sure what you mean. I haven't heard about such things. Probably you meant a router with bridging. If so, then it's a router which you can you use to cover more distance then with only one. (For brindgin you will need at least 2 routers.) You might have meant changing your modem from ppp to full bridging mode. This is generally when you have a router or wireless router connected between the modem and the PC. Normally a modem handles the IP addresses and authentication when you connect to the internet. If you put a router into the situation, then there can be conflicts between the modem and the router. So what can be done is the modem is put into bridging mode which means it doesn't do any of the authentication or IP addressing etc., instead it acts like a "bridge" between the router and the internet. The router does all the work.
