I have no idea what you were doing with all those wires.
Using a router is very simple. 1 NIC in each PC.
Attach ONE wire from each PC to a spot on the router.
Attach ONE wire from the Cable Modem to the WAN/Internet port on the router.
That's all you have to do. For most people, leaving everything set to AUTO
on all PCs and the router means it is really Plug and Play. If you changed
anything, I suggest you return all settings back to factory default and
remove unnecessary hardware (ie, more than one Network Interface Card) from
each PC before going forward with trying to 'repair' it.
