Have you connected your modem, router and computers as such:

modem -> router -> computers

Are you getting an IP address on your wife's computer?

You shouldn't need the wireless if you connected the cable directly to the computer.

They have a new policy which requires all customers to have an adapter.(I know stinks...I'm thinking of changing companies). A few years back you didn't have to.
