This brings up a question. About a year ago we added a 2nd computer to our
family.
My usual method of internet access is using my cell phone as my modem.
If there is WiFi in the CG I'll use that.
Is there any way to connect my cell phone to a router & them have both
computers connect to the router & access the net at the same time?

Having never used a cell phone for data, I've never looked to see if
there are any routers that can be connected that way. Definitely there
are routers that accept an air card, but a cell phone is different.

In any case, it is possible to connect any internet connection to a
computer, and have that computer provide internet access to other
computers. In Windows it is called ICS, Internet Connection Sharing.
The details will vary depending on hardware.

See this link as one of many possible for details:
