Here's a link to one with 802.11N capabilities and a 4 ethernet ports for $30.

This will resolve all your issues, provide better security, and give you Wireless capabilites should you ever want them in the future.
This looks good.

So if I understand correctly, this will connect to my modem and then I connect my computer and TV to it and I can go wireless sometime in the future if I choose.
If I got this right, then it looks like a winner to me.

Thanks for all of your help.

Have a great day.
