What is the router mean if i have a wireless router but i dont use wireless i use 1 out of 4 ports in the router Can i also get the firewall protect from the router thanks?
It does not matter if you are connected through wireless or cable, your router can provide firewall protection for all of its ports on the LAN side. If your question is: Is my wireless router's firewall protecting me, although I do use it for wireless connectivity, the answer is yes. Your routers firewall protects you whether you use the wireless option or not.
Can you use a Wireless usb adapter in a laptop that has a wireless feature in it to get on to the internet or do you have to have a Wireless router with the wireless usb adapter Please Be Specific?
for any wireless network work you need the following two things working in conjunction with eachother:1: a wireless signal (from your own wireless router, or one you "steal" from a neighbor)2: a wireless receiver (built-in, usb adapter, etc)so yes you can use the usb to get on the net, but only with a signal, probably from your own wireless router.

Can you connect two desktop computers and one notebook computer to one router?
Yes, and you can connect many more devices. The router should have at least 4 ethernet ports to connect to. And/or you can connect wireless also. If you have more then 4 wired devices then you can use a 4, 8, or 16 port ethernet Switch to connect to the Router. Myself I have 3 desktops (wired), 3 wireless and 1 wired laptops, an X-Box 360 (wired), a Wii (wireless), a BlueRay player (wireless) and a Brother laser printer (wireless) connected to the router. (1 desktop, 1 laptop and the X-Box are hooked to the Router and the rest of the wired devices are connected to an 8 port ethernet Switch which is connected to the Router.)
Can a wireless router plug into an Ethernet?
Yes, you can plug a wireless router in an ethernet. But don't forget to use the wireless router internet port when you are connecting to an ethernet. Should the question not be "Can an ethernet cable plug into a wireless router?". If so, then yes it can. Usually there are a few ethernet ports on the back of your router. One bit of advice I would give is to watch out for the internet port. I have seen people, plug a client computer into the internet port, even though it clearly says internet above it. Though some routers arent this helpful by labelling each port, so just be careful what port you do plug the ethernet into. Taking a different view of the question, I assumed you were asking if you could plug the wireless router into the wired network and use the same dsl or cable modem to get out. If that is the case, then the is still yes. But when you cable from your wired router to the wireless router, plug the cable in one of the (typically) 4 enet connections and NOT in the one marked Internet. Also, verify that you have the DHCP in the wireless router turned OFF, so addresses are assigned from the wired router. There can be 1, and only 1, DHCP server on a segment. (Only one boss for this job).

Cable modem from Cox and you have a wireless router how do you connect your router to the modem so you can use your computer and xbox?
To get "wireless" access from a cable modem, you will need a wireless router in addition to the cable modem. Wireless routers are made by Linksys, and a number of other vendors. Start: 1. Plug the coax cable from the wall into your modem. (this is the "live" internet connection now powering your modem. The modem is now "live") 2. Run the ethernet cable from your modem into your wireless router. (this router is now "live") 3. Run the ethernet cable from the wireless router into your PC. (the PC is now "live") You are basically looping the modem into the router, and the router to your PC, instead of going directly from the modem into the PC. The benefit of looping the wireless router in between the Modem and the PC is so that the wireless router can get a live internet signal and broadcast a "wireless" signal to your home and surrounding 100 foot area. The reason you loop the ethernet cable from the wireless router (in step #2) back into your PC is so that the PC can get the internet connection. Most PC's don't have a wireless "receiver" to receive the wireless signal, and require a direct input from an ethernet cable. Most laptops have wireless ("receivers" aka: modems) and can receive the signal from the wireless router (which is now actively receiving and broadcasting the signal) which we connected in step #2. The concept is very similar to your home telephone with a wireless handset. The phone line runs into the base station, and you can walk around your home with a wireless phone. This is the same with your laptop, and the wireless router is just like the base station of your phone.
