Answer 1

Whenever you change the setup you must unplug the modem's power (and router's power if you have one) for 10 seconds to reboot them.

Normally the setup with 1 computer is:

Wall --> Modem --> Computer

Then with a router:

Wall --> Modem --> Router --> Computers

*The modem is plugged into the "WAN", "Uplink", or "Internet" port of the router

*The computer(s) are plugged into the "LAN" ports or wireless link of the router

Answer 2

In order for the wireless router to work you have to hook up your internet service through the router and then the router to the modem.  If you disconnect your router then you have to rehook up your internet service back to the modem.
