Yes, and you can connect many more devices. The router should have at least 4 ethernet ports to connect to. And/or you can connect wireless also. 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.)
An Ethernet Hub allows the user to hook up to four ports at one time. The Hub will allow you to connect multiple devices and allow them to act as one.
You need to connect a modem using the modem port and the telephone cable.
A wireless only router sends out a radio signal to all the devices, B, G and N bands. The computer/devices have to have a wirless card/dongle to work though. It only has the one ethernet port for the modem to connect to it.A Wired only router is one that only has ethernet ports connecting it to the computers/devices. There is no radio transmitter in it.Most routers have both now, usually 4 ethernet ports and the wireless radio as one, so you can connect wireless or wired devices to the router at the same time.An example world be my older tower doesn't have a wireless card and I don't want to buy a USB wireless device so I can just use the ethernet cable to connect to the router while my Laptop connects wirelessly.
The "Ethernet Port" Obviously is used for the Ethernet cable which often connects computers to a router. A router is a device that gets the Internet or from the phone/Internet port and routes it to your computer routers are required for ADSL and ADSL2+ to work. Oftener more than one computer is connected to the router. But this setup may be different for "Cable Internet because i have never had cable.
First, make sure it is actually an Ethernet cord, since Phone Lines and Ethernet cords are commonly confused with each other. But if you know its an Ethernet cord, look for a fairly large port that looks rectangular, Google a picture of an Ethernet port and look for it on the back of your computer. Once you find this port on the back of your computer, plug one side of the cord into it, then the other side into your modem or router.
There are several ports that can be located on s standard phone. The one port on a modern phone that closely resembles a phone jack is called an Ethernet port.
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.
On a typical setup, only one device can be connected to the ports. However, if you have a special USB port, or a device that will split a USB port, you can connect 2 or more devices.
There are a few different types of cables that can be used to connect routers, but the most common is the Ethernet cable. This is a cable that has RJ-45 connectors on each end, and it can be used to connect devices that are within 100 meters of each other.
"An ethernet cable splitter allows you to connect two computers to one ethernet connection. Once you have your splitter made, you plug it into both computers just as you would with a normal ethernet cable."
