Currently I use a cable modem attached to a router that serves 4 computers
(yes, I have that many teens). My son wants me to set up a 1Ghz computer
that would serve as a gateway to improve the Internet connection speed.  Its
sole purpose is only to be this gateway.  Can anyone explain to me exactly
how this works and how I would set this up?  Also, is it worth the bother.
Parts is no problem.

Two computers use XP Home and the other two use Windows 98.
