A WiFi Dongle is basically a plug and play device that allows you to access the internet while you're traveling. Some WiFi Dongles do not connect to the laptop or PC and operate independently to provide you with Wi-Fi internet using cellular data.
A router is the device that takes the signal from the modem and distributes it to your computers, phones, tablets etc and usually has both ethernet ports for a wired connection and also a wireless transmitter for wifi connections. Does a router act as a better internet dongle, when you connect a dongle to it?
One thing that I have recently found useful is to use the router as a wireless adapter to connect to a wireless network. Using a router as a wireless adapter will not only provide you with wireless connectivity, but will also give you a multiple-port switch to connect your wired devices. Click Wireless.
First, you can connect an external USB hard drive to a router that features USB ports. Plug the hard drive into the wall and then connect it to the router. The hard drive may be instantly recognized, or it might require additional configuration. The second method to connect a hard drive is directly.
Insert your USB storage device into the router's USB port and then access files stored there locally or remotely. Tips: If the USB storage device requires using bundled external power, make sure the external power has been connected. If you use a USB hard drive, we recommend its file system is NTFS,FAT32.
Modern WiFi Routers are coming with one or two external USB ports with regular ethernet ports. You can connect any USB Storage devices to this USB port and make access to the entire home network. The drives will be instantly accessible on the home network, once you connect external Hard drives to this Router USB port.

The router sits in between your Internet connection and your local network. But you can't connect directly to the Internet with just a router. Instead, your router must be plugged into a device that can transmit your digital traffic over whatever type of Internet connection you have. And that device is a modem.
