How do I set up a wireless home network to share my satellite broadband. Can I use a wireless router? How do I connect the main computer to the router? Do I need a crossover cable to go from computer to router/accesspoint? Does the cable go to the switch port or to the wan port?

So many questions... Thats good. It is the beggining of the path of learning.
How does your satellite connect to your computer? Is it a plug-in card? USB? CAT 5 cable?
On a DSL or Cable modem set up the CAT 5 cable from the DSL or cable modem would go to the WAN port of the router and the all the computers would connect to the LAN ports via a regular CAT 5 cable.
Any other setup help will require more information on your setup.
