usually when a router has a USB connector on it, this is used for connecting it to your PC if you don't have an ethernet port. like it does on my safecom router.
Not for connecting a storage device to as mentioned above.
there are some wireless routers that do not have a built in modem so do connect to one by USB but i am not sure on the make and i have very rarely come accross them.
the only place i do remember seeing one of these is from an internet phone supplier whioch worked in this way. but yet again i forget the name of them as it was a while ago.

No, if your router has a USB port it's probably for connecting some sort of external storage.
Ethernet connects to the modem.

There are some, not many routers out there that support the usb connection. However, I would not recommend it.
