Wireless Internet Question: Modem and Router

[helicopter23]

I just had road runner come install a cable modem at my house, the cable modem has one ethernet plug. My question is if I get a wireless router and connect the modem to it, can I still run a "hard line" to my computer to the wireless router so I can still have a "hard line or direct hookup"?

Yes. There should be 4+ sockets in the back of the router you can run an ethernet cable from.

Do I plug internet cable to modem than that to router or do I plug the internet cable straight to router?

get an external antenna router. better than internal for obvious reasons. d-link dir-655 has been around for awhile and is still one of the best. my max speed is 1.5 MB/s with hardline. i get 1.4 on laptop with the router.

Ethernet cable from cable modem to wireless router

This is what the back looks like. Those (4) open ports can be used to "hardwire" other computers.
