There are at least two ways. First, you connect the wireless router directly to the cable modem, and then the switch in the wireless router. You have to connect the cable coming from the modem in the wireless router internet port. Second, you connect the wireless router to the switch, again the cable coming from the switch you have to connect on the wireless router internet port. It's better to put the wireless router just after the modem, but it's not required.

Usually default settings allow you to work with internet and inside network without any correction of default settings. After that restart your modem (if you have it) and restart your router. Then Start->Run->cmd, press enter. ping (one of your computer's Ips), for instance, ping 192.168.1.3 If it doesn't work out you have to configure DHCP server for your router, but it's already another question.

Yes. There are loads of different ones on the market, from internal ones to external ones. Personally I recommend external USB ones.

And, if and when you get a second desktop, you cant share the device.
