wireless broadband router

Easiest is to set up a network with a wireless broadband router.

Internet --- broadband modem --- router ~ -- ~ computers

--- wired
~ -- ~ wired and/or wireless

NOTE: You can use the router to network the computers together without connecting it to a broadband modem. You don't have to connect to the router wirelessly, but it is a nice convenience for notebook computers.
