I had envisioned having the cable modem connected by cable to the router, and then that the router would broadcast to all three computers in the household. Can this be done with some routers?
You've got yourself a very good router ! I had a couple of older routers but recently bought the WGR614v4. This one is much better that the previous. It is far more stable and the transmision speed looks better. you only need to attach a computer (by wire) for the router's setup process and to change any settings afterwards. After the extremely easy set-up process you can have ALL your computers wireless.
Just one recommendation: check from time to time for firmware upgrades for the router.
Enjoy !
