Wireless Router Question

Can someone tell me if there is a Wireless Router that can receive a wireless signal and then broadcast that signal to other computers?

I live in a remote area. Unfortunately I can not get DSL or Cable. The only way for me to get an internet connection other than dial up is by subscribing to a wireless internet provider. They provided me with a wireless adapter to pick up their service. The problem I have is that I have two other computers in my house that I would like to connect to the internet.

Can someone give me direction on how to do this? Is it even possible?
 
You can simply get a wireless network interface card and install it into each of your other computers and they should be connected to the network if yo have the type of service I'm thinking of.
 
The only way I am able to connect to the internet is through a wireless network card. I want to share that with two other computers in my home without having to swap the card each time. I tried getting another wireless network card but was unable to connect to my service because of a built in password.
 
If it is possible to link all of my computers through a router, (does not have to be a wireless router) is it possible to share my wireless connection on my main computer through a router? If so, what steps should I take to accomplish this?

I know this is asking for a lot of information so I thank all of you in advance for any information that will help me make this happen.
 
I'm not a network expert, but as far as I know you can do that.

You need a switch/router and connect all your computers to it with cat5e cables (ethernet) and then you should be able to access the internet from all computers if you're configured correctly.
 
I think I will have to give it a try. lol. So it seems that it may be possible to connect all of my computers through a switch/router. I have a built in eithernet port on my main computer. I will have to connect that to the "input" port on the router and go from there. Thank you again for your assistance.
