What else can I help you with?
Can you use a switch to share an Ethernet line with both a computer and ps3 at the same time?
Yes the switch is called a router and it can be wireless or wired with ethernet cables. I use my wireless router as a wired router because it also includes four ethernet cable connections in the back.
Do you have to keep the Ethernet cord connected on a laptop when connected to wireless router?

Where can I get an Ethernet to get a signal at home?
Ethernet is a type of cable. You can connect it to your computer to connect to a modem, or you can get a wireless router to use instead. You will need a wireless card (usually built in to any computer made within the last 5-10 years).
Can you setup a router on a laptop or only on computer?
There is no difference between a laptop or a desktop when setting up a router. You should use an Ethernet cable when setting up your router, and use the wireless only after it's setup.
Can a wireless router plug into an Ethernet?
Yes, you can plug a wireless router in an ethernet. But don't forget to use the wireless router internet port when you are connecting to an ethernet. Should the question not be "Can an ethernet cable plug into a wireless router?". If so, then yes it can. Usually there are a few ethernet ports on the back of your router. One bit of advice I would give is to watch out for the internet port. I have seen people, plug a client computer into the internet port, even though it clearly says internet above it. Though some routers arent this helpful by labelling each port, so just be careful what port you do plug the ethernet into. Taking a different view of the question, I assumed you were asking if you could plug the wireless router into the wired network and use the same dsl or cable modem to get out. If that is the case, then the is still yes. But when you cable from your wired router to the wireless router, plug the cable in one of the (typically) 4 enet connections and NOT in the one marked Internet. Also, verify that you have the DHCP in the wireless router turned OFF, so addresses are assigned from the wired router. There can be 1, and only 1, DHCP server on a segment.

Do you have to hook the router up to a computer?
No - a router can connect to a computer, another router, a switch, a hub, a bridge or a modem. If you are connecting to the Internet via DSL or cable company you will need a modem/router to connect to them. You then attach your computer (or computers) to that router. Routers are useful because they make decisions about which way a packet of data goes - this network or this network? If you have one network that doesn't go anywhere (connect to the Internet or another network) a router is of no use to you and a switch generally does wonderfully and is cheaper than a router.
Can you use any wireless router to connect to the internet?
What do you mean? On a Game Boy, On a Nintendo DS, on a computer, laptop, T.V. I don't really no this stuff. I am only a Nintendo DS expert. Any questions on that?? -Scabs If you are connecting your desktop computer to a wireless router, then you will probably need a wireless adapter. Most laptops today have wireless cards built into them so that you don't need to buy an adapter and you can pick up a signal from any wireless router.
How do you convert computer from wireless to Ethernet?
Technically, wireless networking standards are part of the Ethernet family of standards, so what you're really asking about is changing from wireless Ethernet to wired Ethernet. If your computer has a working RJ45 port, all you need is an Ethernet connector cable to connect to a suitable hub or router. If your computer doesn't have that port, you need to install a wired network adapter.
