If you want an wireless Internet connection, the router needs connected to a broadband modem (DSL or cable). The only time it would plug directly into a phone line would be if it is a combination router/DSL modem.A good router might go a couple hundred feet in open air.

A modem can only connect a single device to the internet. In order to connect more devices in a home -- many of them are Wi-Fi devices, like your tablets or your laptops -- you also need a Wi-Fi router. To make it simple, most service providers combine a modem and a Wi-Fi router into a single box and call it a gateway.
