Q&A: Networking without wireless
How to connect to the internet without wireless

I have two desktop computers about 4ft apart. Only one can be connected to
the internet at a time by plugging the single network cable from the cable modem
into one of the computers. I would like to connect both to the internet at the
same time but do not want a wireless network.

You need a router for this job but make sure that it does not have a modem or
wireless feature installed. The router will have a single network socket on the
back labelled Wan or internet that the cable modem is plugged into. There will
also be four more network sockets in a group that the computers will be
connected with.
An example of this is the Netgear Cable/DSL Web Safe Router (more information
here).
A router is recommended rather than a simple hub because it will organise the
network automatically, saving you time and effort.
