Modem Questions

[wireless]

I.m thinking of moving from Shaw to Telus but first have a few questions:

1) Can I connect my router to the Telus modem?


2) The modem will be in a different room from the TV. The cable will need to run down into the basement, along the undeveloped basement ceiling and up through the floor to the TV. I will do this. But, what sort of cable is required? co-axial, Ethernet , or ?


3) Does the Telus modem have a USB port I can use to power a USB device?
