Most wireless routers also allow you to plug in 4 to 8 other Ethernet cables. It would not be a router otherwise, it would simply be a wireless access point. The cable connections are also faster than the wireless (at this point).

How do you share 2 computer on a network?
If you just have 2 computers and neither one is wireless then you can just buy an Ethernet switch and connect to it and then turn file sharing on and your done. If one (or both) is wireless and one is not you can buy a wireless Router with a 4 port Ethernet port on it and then you can connect the wireless one via wireless and the non-wireless one to the Ethernet port and then they can connect to each other. The Router will also give you the benefit of having a "Hardware" firewall to protect you from the internet, neighbors, etc. If you have a DSL/Cable modem then it would be similar to this: DSL/Cable modem-----Router (wireless(?))----computers, HDTV, BlueRay player, etc.

If you have more then 4 wired devices then you can use a 4, 8, or 16 port ethernet Switch to connect to the Router. Myself I have 3 desktops (wired), 3 wireless and 1 wired laptops, an X-Box 360 (wired), a Wii (wireless), a BlueRay player (wireless) and a Brother laser printer (wireless) connected to the router. (1 desktop, 1 laptop and the X-Box are hooked to the Router and the rest of the wired devices are connected to an 8 port ethernet Switch which is connected to the Router.)
