Friends,I have 2 desktop PC's now arranged and situated in the same room.
How do I connect the Alliance Beoadband Network connection between them.
One of my PC is connected with Broadband cable(optic fibre) via Tp-Link Archer C20 Router.

Friend @whitestar_999 , @meetdilip and other Friends guidelines Please.
Do I need to buy a separate switch or hub for network connection through RJ-45 cable(which I do have)???
I want a wired network connection between the two PC's.

Don't I need any network hub or switch in this case?

If router has 2 or more Ethernet out ports apart from the one which is for cable-in, then Dude you don't need anything, it has 4 Ethernet ports.
