1. Yes. First download the USB drivers to say c :/usb modem drivers.
a..Restart computer and connect the modem. Let Laptop detect the hardware and ask for the drivers.
b. Follow procedure.
2. From computer shop : called usb cable. Take the modem to the shop to get the correct connector.

3. You don't need the usb port to connect a WIFI router. Lan port can be used .
Usually WIFI router provides 4 additional LAN ports.
4. reference :BSNL BROADBAND MAIN MENU
Check your model and quote model/make in your post/s.

wrt your qn.3, You can excahnge your Type1 modem for Type2 (Wireless) with BSNL if you have purchased the Type1 from BSNL, by paying the difference amount .
