Simple modem. No router to get in the way. As long as it isn't one of those that has some built-in router mode. (Some do.)

The messages may be clear to you, but I can't see what you see.
Where do you see this message?
Same with wifi. What settings in the PC are you looking at that says "wireless is disabled".
If this is a Windows PC, there will be something that tells you that.
When I asked
"What do the LEDs on the router look like?"
The response we got was:
"The only light that came on was the power light and the port light we had the ethernet cable plug[g]ed into it."
Even if there is no Internet connection, the Internet light should come on as long as you have something plugged into the WAN/Internet port. (It will be amber until it connects to the Internet when it turns white.)
Likewise the wifi LEDs will be on as long as you haven't pressed the WiFi On/Off button.
