I have the above mentioned setup and the linksys router is the best improvement I've gotten since DSL. You can uninstall all of your ISP's software off of your machines, you're always connected and you can block any of your PC's from reaching the internet, and it is password protected to get into the router's settings. I have the model with the 4-port switch built in and use MYPC, KIDSPC, AND laptop all can be cruising the internet way faster than either one could ever on dialup. I'm looking for one of those little mini print servers for that fourth port so any of the 3 PC's will be able to print without having to have the main PC on!
Best 99 dollars I think I ever spent on any PC related device was definately that router!
