There will be a CAT5 cable from modem to router and then a cable from each NIC to router.

2 PC's would require 3 cable's. One from router to modem and one from each PC to router.

Make sure that your modem has Ethernet jack (RJ45 for CAT5 cable) as some people on this forum have tried to set up networks with routers only to discover that their modem only has USB connection.
