This can be changed but the default is ACTIONTEC
the router interface closest to the computer
Sometimes I start my computer in the morning and I'm not getting my wireless Actiontec signal on my computer. After trying different things I got it back to working. I had my computer on. I unplugged the Actiontec. I took the green phone line out of the wall plug. I plugged the Actiontec back in again. I plugged the phone line in the wall again. It started working again!
Perhaps you are referring to IMP, but these would be more like a modern DSL or cable modem than a router in function.
One way to identify the SSID your router is broadcasting is to scan for networks while the router is on, then power off the router. Scan for networks again and identify which network has disappeared, The network that has disappeared is the SSID that your router is broadcasting.
Either a router connection and a modem, or a USB Stick Modem.

No. But if you want some type of internet access then it does need to be hardwired to some kind of internet gateway like a DSL or cable modem.
A Cable/DSL gateway is a network gateway. It is used to establish a connection between DSL and Cable TV to a computer network by physical means, such as through LAN or a wireless network.
No, you have to buy your own router.
