Some people prefer to disconnect the phone line from their modem when it is not in use. There is something to be said for this practice, as in rural areas it is not uncommon for surges to come over the phone line and zap the modem.
However, this risk can be mitigated by using a quality surge suppressor, most of which come with a phone line protection circuit which is easy to use. This, coupled with the difficulty of reaching the plug, as its on the back of most peoples computers, means that its not reasonably practical or necessary for most people to disconnect and reconnect the modem that often. Additionally since modems are so inexpensive and are so easy to replace, i wouldn't bother.

Yes you take the internet access from the modem to the computer and move it to the router so the router can allow more access than just to the computer. In the back of the router there are spots for ethernet cables only one is a input and that comes from the modem and should be connected. There should also be 4 or more outputs and one then gets connected to the computer. You will need to buy more ethernet cables.
