How can i take a modem and connect a wireless router and a different wire to a computer so i can used wireless on one and wired on the other i tried a splitter but no luck it was a phone sppliter?

| modem | wireless router - - - wireless PC ... | | | +-------------------- wired PC ... | hub ------------------- wired PC \------------------------ wired PC ... Routers have extra ports for wired PC but if you need more you need to have a hub. A hub though uses a cross-over cable to the router all the rest uses a regular network cable. All PCs of the network must point to the router's IP address as the default gateway and the network connection is allowed in their respective firewalls if any.
