1. Dial-up - You use a dial-up modem in your computer to connect to the internet over a phone line. 2. Ethernet - You connect to a cable / DSL modem with an Ethernet cable, either directly to the modem or through a router. 3. Wi-fi - You connect to a cable / DSL modem with a wireless card to a router, which is connected to the modem. 4. USB - you connect to a cable / DSL modem directly with a USB cable. 5. 3G - A form of wireless internet that communicates using cellphone towers.
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.

No. You need to connect the ethernet cable to a modem or router. You can disconnect the PC ethernet cable from the modem and connect an ethernet cable from the Xbox 360 to the modem until you purchase a router.
There are at least two ways. First, you connect the wireless router directly to the cable modem, and then the switch in the wireless router. You have to connect the cable coming from the modem in the wireless router internet port. Second, you connect the wireless router to the switch, again the cable coming from the switch you have to connect on the wireless router internet port. It's better to put the wireless router just after the modem, but it's not required.
Purchase a router and an ethernet cable and connect the router to the cable modem and then connect everything to the router if you get the wireless router then you connect wired devices to the back of the wireless router and you can go WiFi to connect the PS3 or connect it with ethernet cables for a better connection.
If you want to use wireless internet to connect a second PC to a router, you can use a cable cord, or coaxial cable. This can be hooked directly to the router.
You can use any cat 5 ethernet cable to connect the xbox 360 to the router.
