    Are you trying to connect them all through wireless, or will any of the machines be connected with RJ-45?

      One with a cable.  I was wondering if I can use my computer with the wireless modem to use the either net connection at the back of the computer to hook to another computer to share the card.

      Do you have wireless network cards in all of the computers? 

      You could use the laptop as a connection point, but lets take this one step at a time. :)

        Do you have another hub or router kicking around?

        The um175 will allow you to select WAN or LAN.  That would allow you connect the RJ-45 cables to the secondary hub/router and then connect it to the USB connection on the back of the um175.
        The WAN/LAN setting is in the Admin options in the router setup of the um175.

          Do you understand what I am getting at, or do you need step by step on this?

            Okay, I just looked at the specs on your wrt160n, and they don't mention if it has a USB port on it.
            Can you verify this for me?

              No usb port and I guess what you are saying it would be my either net port at the back of the computer, since the modem does not have an port on it.

                Sorry Quantos I am not sure what you mean can you explain access point.  If you mean is it a desktop or laptop it is a desktop.

                I mean do you have a secondary device to relay the signal to the um175, something with an antenna on it.
