question about connecting to the internet directly

the wifi sucks here and my desktop is next to the modem and router. if I want to plug into the internet directly, do I plug a cable into one the Ethernet spots on the router? and can I assure my stepdad that I'm not fricking up the wifi for anyone else?

It's pretty simple.
Coax from Cox plugs into the modem as a feed.
Cox modem converts that to Ethernet. You plug the ethernet cable into the WAN port on your router. After that, you have 4 ports that you can plug devices into. Having devices plugged into those ports should not cause any sort of outages for wifi or any other of your devices.
If the internet died when you plugged into one of those 4 ports that are not the WAN port, then it was a coincidence.
