Here is an optional approach. Focus on getting one system going right first. Only 
connect one computer to the router. We'll start with the limited connectivity one. 
 See if you can get access to the internet or if you still get limited connectivity. 
If the connectivity issue goes away, then it may be a conflicting IP address which 
is easy to correct. As far as the other computer, try switching the cable and see 
if you get a different response. It may be a bad cable.
