Can I bypass Router and directly connect my Modem to PC?

Yes, you can.

 

Whether or not you should is another matter. Many (most) routers provide services such as a Firewall, SPI (among other things) which shield your computer from a lot of security risks. 

 

If you wanted to do this short-term to test something, yes, go ahead. Long term, I don't advise it. 

 

P.S. You may need to reboot the modem every time you change the device. ISPs assign a sticky IP addresses based on the MAC address of the device connected to the modem (unless you have a business line and pay for a static IP). If that device changes, your ISP won't want to issue you a new IP address until the old MAC is removed. This will only happen once the modem reboots and registers a new MAC.

no

 

my "thought" process: router distributes IPs no IP no internet

and what type of cable is coming out of your modem?

Bridge mode on your router would allow your computer to dial the internet. but not recommended
