I'd like to know a bit more about https.

Does https encrypt all my messages on the wireless network from my computer through the router/wireless modem towards the distant server or only between my router/wireless modem and computer?

Also can the router itself decrypt my messages?
(As in, do Routers or wireless modems have an option that will allow it to decrypt my messages and send it over the internet as a file that can be read easily?)

HTTPS like HTTP is a protocol but a secure version, it is used a lot on sites that require more secure options such as payments etc...

As USAFRet said basically it just encrypts the data between your browser and the end point server
