You will have to supply the cables to the individual PCs. I think the router comes with the cable to connect to the modem and power supply cable, but that's all.

Usually all routers are for more than 1 computer and most of the time it only come with 1 cable to connect the router to the modem, so you'll need to buy the cables to connect the routers to all the computers unless is a wireless one then you'll need the wireless cards for the computers if they don't have one.

Most routers do NOT come with network cables - or at most one to hook it to you cable/DSL modem. You will need to purchase additional Cat 5 Ethernet cables in the length you need for each computer. (The router makers have no way of guessing how many and how long you will need.)

Just buy a wireless router. It connects to signal and doesn't require any cable.

if you get a wired router you need to buy the LAN cable seperately, and since you are networking at least 2 you may need quite a bit of cabling. you may want to consider a wireless network. it works the same way except you need a wi-fi usb key or pci card for your pc's.
