I agree with Indy. You have to think about a certain bias. Those with a lot of computer knowledge and/or AC experience will post the most about these areas.
Those that have the least amount of computer knowledge are going to post asking questions of the above.
This tends to make it seem as though if you have little experience you must need computer gurus to figure it out.
If you can connect your cable or whatever modem that is installed by your cable company to a LinkSys router then to a switch, you are pretty much set. Connect all the computers to the switch, install AC on each computer, choose a computer to be the "server" and connect them.
Also, a good tip is to go to your local college that has a computer science course and ask the professor to ask if any students want to run Ethernet cable for $10.00 an hour and pizza. Works all the time.
