thank you for replies. i am thinking of buying this router. however there is one thing. i have a laptop, a pc and a ps2 with network adapter. the pc HAS to use the usb cable coz it doesnt have a NIC or ehternet port. i guess this router would work with using both laptop and ps2 at same time as laptop has NIC installed. but willl i still be able to switch to using pc internet?> i dont need to use pc and anything else at same time i just want to be able to use pc online as well.

also, am i right:

all i have to do when i get this router is plug in both the laptop ethernet cable and the ps2 ehternet cable and i can use both at same time???
