The router is a base station, wired to the cable modem and to the internet.
Adaptors would be fitted to your computers, either USB dongles or cards. These are the remote end of the system which then connect wirelessly to the router. The router manages these connections, handing out IP addresses to each of the connected computers and managing their shared connection to the internet.
Hope that helps a bit.
