    Thank you Brink!
    I have a in the box new Asus RT-N12 router. That information will be of great help.
    I looked and couldn't find a Tutorial for 101 router installation for two computers and one printer/scanner. I have never used a router or configured one. Beginners information i.e. (Can a router be used in Home Group and Work Group; which one is preferred.)

    Page seven was unintentionally funny. If you don't have enough ports on your router, don't buy another one and disable it's expensive routing, WiFi and firewall functionality. Buy a switch instead--it's what they're designed for.

    If you run out of router ports, buy a switch with enough ports for all of your computers and run one cable to the router. This will give you maximum performance and will be cheaper than buying another router.
