Like bossman said you can't hook both the work station and the router up to the modem. Your going to have to just hook the modem up to the router and then go from there to the workstation using either ethernet cable or wireless and to the notebook using the wireless. It would be better to go to the workstation with a cable since it won't be moved but since you don't want to run the cable the wireless will work fine. I am using wireless on my desktop too since i can't run wires.
