Return the other routers.
Get a linksys router with both g and b that is wireless. This router will be able to connect ONE line in from the modem(satellite) and 4 hard lines via ethernet cable. You will also be able to use your wireless laptop with it but make sure the router itself is centralized in your house on the main floor or you won't get good reception.
After you get it all plugged in(which is easy) you will have to run the setup for the router.
Try this link http://compnetworking.about.com/od/wirel...
it will help you set up your wireless for a secure connection. Otherwise anyone within range of your house (100yards at best) can log in through your wireless router and if they do kidddie porn or some type of bad stuff, you will be the target for the investigation.
It's really pretty easy to do.
Contact me if you need help with security.
Pretty much all wireless routers also have ethernet ports you can use for wired connections. There are usually four ports - if you need more than that, you can connect a switch to one of them. The Linksys should work fine for what you want.
I'm sending this via a Linksys Wireless G router. Its input from the modem is via ethernet cable. In addition to the wireless output, it has 4 ethernet outputs. So Junior's laptop and mom's WII talk to the wireless, my puter, mom's, Junior's desktop, and his XBOX 360 all go through cables into the ethernet ports.
First of all, it's not wireless internet, it's Satellite internet.
Linksys wireless routers have 4 outputs and 1 input. The ethernet cable goes from the modem to the router. 4 ports are output for using a wire, and then it also has wireless so you can connect multiple computers as long as they all have a wireless card or wireless capability.
Well if you plan on networking, go for linksys it has a web setting that you can adjust and secure, there are two types one is a linksys wireless router that has no ethernet plug at the back and one that has one, I suggest buying the one with the ethernet plug it comes with a manual, you just need a network adapter for the other pc and the other one with a modem with an ethernet cable.or maybe go on wireless...
