Can you install a DSL connection on a wireless router instead of plugging the ethernet wire into the computer?
I am in the process of changing ISP’s from mobile wireless to plain DSL and I am setting up the network on my own. According to the instructions, I must install the ethernet cord from the modem to a computer. I was wondering if I could bypass plugging into the computer and use my wireless router instead.

Most Deffently.. yes you can. The router is acting as the "computer" in this case and will take your DSL and split it though its various ports and wireless.
Yes you can, take the ethernet cord from the DSL modem and put it into the router, now you can have everthing run wirelessly or you can continue to plug ethernet cables into your computer from the router. This will most likely give you better connections and better speed.
