I cannot figure out how to get multiple computers online at the same time like this device is supposed to allow me to. Does anyone know how I configure my computers to allow this? Thank You

What speeds do you pay for?
Thats a bit of key as there's fast ethernet (10/100mbps) and gigabit (10/100/1000mbps) devices.

I think around 200 mbps but it's not wifi. Just cable. Thanks

Never hurts to have a router that supports wifi. Wifi can be disabled for most of the routers (not the mesh ones) so you have the option of disabling it or using it. I'd look through the routers that are gigabit on the netgear routers page. You can filter by specs you want.

You might have a hard time finding a router that does not do wifi.

to not support wifi, you'd either want to look at the business grade routing solutions or you could check into something like the edgerouter x.
Or just get a standard router and disable its wifi.
