You would just go out and buy yourself a router ...
Unplug the clearwire "thingy" from your tower and Plug the clearwire "thingy" into the router input. Then you would connect a cable between one of the router's 4 "output" ports and your tower port, (where the "thingy" was connected before).
You could then plug the other computer(s) into one of the other 3 ports left over. You can plug up to 4 computers into these available 4 ports.
BUT .........
The router will ALSO have wireless connection! That means you can buy a wireless card and put it into another computer -say- down in the basement. That way you don't have to string gangly cords all over the place to connect to a remote computer.
Using wireless connections, there is now no "4 limit" on connection. You can connect with up to 253 computers on wireless!
So the deal is ........
Clearwire itself is wireless but it provides to only ONE IP address. Connect it to a router and you can split the connection into as many as 257 different computers. 253 of those will (or can) communicate through the wireless facilities of the router.
