   That's exactly what I'm recommending. On most routers there is one   
   connecteur to connect to the 'internet' (that is, your provider via the   
   telephone line) and four ethernet sockets to connect various devices and   
   so, the internet connection, such as your desktop (or your portable   
   which will also have an ethernet connection on it) with a cable.
