That's what will enable the internet signal to be sent to multiple computers. And then, if you want computers connected to in wirelessly, you'll need wireless adapter cards. Or, if you want them hard-wired to the router, you'll either need a network adapter card, or most computers already have a Ethernet port on the motherboard.
You don't absolutley have to have a router. You can get away with using a small hub, but with the prices on routers dropping like dead flies, I'd go with the router anyway.
The only difference is the router's increased security and it's considered a \"smart\" device compared to the hub being a \"dumb\" peripheral. If you're using Windows XP, the Internet Connection Sharing wizard pretty much does the work for you after everything is said and done. You can still assign static IP addresses if you want though. If you go with just a hub, make sure your Antivirus is up to snuff though.

You need one for every computer that doesn't have wireless capabilities that you wish to put on the network.
ok... I don't really get it but I'll try... ok, only 1 of my PC is not connected to the internet and 1 is connected, do I still have to buy 2 wireless network cards for both?
