Wifi is simply a network signal. Connecting to wifi is no different to plugging into an ethernet port (hard wire).

Computers can easily switch between the two with no interaction from the user.

The internet "will work normally".

I have absolutely no idea what you're asking.

It sounds like you want to connect to the university wifi and then share the connection through the computers RJ45 port to allow this Arduino thing to connect to the internet. In which case, Windows can do this very easily via Internet Connection Sharing.

Yes, it is possible to connect a wireless modem to a router. In fact, many routers have built-in modems that allow for both wired and wireless connections. The main purpose of a wireless modem is to provide wireless internet access to devices such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets. However, it can also be connected to a computer via an RJ45 cable to provide a wired internet connection.

In regards to the specific model mentioned in the video and link, the Motorola SURFboard Cable Modem SB5101 is a cable modem that also has a built-in router. This means that it can provide both wired and wireless internet access to devices connected to it.

It is important to note that in order to use a wireless modem, you will need to have a wireless internet connection available. This can be from a university's wifi network or from a personal wifi router. Additionally, the modem will need to be set up and configured properly in order for it to work correctly.

I hope this helps to answer your question about wireless modems and their capabilities. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to reach out for additional assistance.
