I'm sorry to sound stupid here, but I just do not understand routers! I have a good, general idea about them, but I have some questions...
1. I have a desktop that is connected to a wired, cable modem. I want to get a new laptop & wireless printer, but, I want to keep the desktop connected to the wired modem. Does the router connect to the modem??
2. If so, can I still keep my desktop computer connected to the modem by ethernet??
3. If so, can anyone suggest an inexpensive router that isn't hard to get set up? I will be connecting a laptop, printer, and tablet.
There are just SO MANY routers out there! and they all have features that I have no clue about!
please help me???
