I'm a dork: Router as a switch? interesting setup.

Hi;

I am a dork because I should have come here before I bought the hardware.

I am now the proud owner of a Belkin Wireless N Router. (options over here are limited. high quality=$$stupid$$expensive).

I have a PC with a usb modem. I want to connect that to a router (via ethernet), then out of the router I want 2 pc's (ethernet) and a laptop that connects wirelessly.

Can I do that?

Did I stuff it up?

The only thing that I know is that I can't make it happen. any help would be excellent, please? thanks.
Never begin a job by looking at a computer and saying, or even thinking "this won't take long..."

If all else fails, use a bigger hammer.
