Answer 1

You can't connect directly to the Internet with just a router. Instead, your router must be plugged into a device that can transmit your digital traffic over whatever type of Internet connection you have. And that device is a modem. Modem is connected to internet, eather wired or wireless.

If you don't have modem, you can't connect to the internet. Without router, only one device can be connected at the same time. They can't be replaced.
