Assuming it's an ethernet router, you unplug the ethernet cable from the
modem to the existing pc and plug the ethernet cable from the modem to the
router( wan). There should be some software which will help you to clone the
ip address that your ISP gave you into the router, or call your router
company to help. Next you plug ethernet cables from each computer into the
router(lan) and make sure their network cards are set to obtain ip address
automatically, which the router will give them and you're done
