Yes if you already have wired cable modem
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. That is one of the main reasons to get a router. It also performs a service called NAT (network address translation). This allows you to connect multiple device to your single internet connection form the cable company (or DSL). Most routers have some easy to use setup wizards.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Assuming you have a cable modem/router, just connect this router to the cable modem, then your PC to this router. Use the NetGear software to set up this router as a bridge/switch (no internet router function). I will give you some additional network ports and a good, fast wi-fi connection.

Adding the ereader reguired logging on to the new network and entering the network password, but this happened automatically after the first time.

This router specifically allows 4 computers to be hard wired to the back of the device. You can also connect many devices wirelessly to this router. I do not have an eReader so you would need to look at the eReader manual to see if it allows you to connect this device to a wireless network. You do not need the cable company to connect your device to your internal network... However if you plan on being able to connect any of you computers or wireless devices to the internet you will need an Internet Service Provider (ISP) that you connect this router to...
