    As long as you have a way to connect both computers to the router (not always an option), then yes, you can use it to create a small network and share resources such as a printer.

    There are routers that only have one internal port, and for these you will need a switch. However, most modern small routers have a switch built in that will let you connect 4 or 5 PCs to the unit. Some also have wireless.
