I am adding a second hardwired computer to my router. The router has 3 network connection plugins on the back. Do I have to wire my second computer to one of these plugs, or can I just daisy chain the second computer off of the first computer?
No, you need to connect each computer to a separate port on the router or switch. There is NO "sharing" or "daisy chaining" in a UTP wired Ethernet LAN. Each has its own cable run or path. Just use an appropriately Category rated, Ethernet patch cord and connect it between an unused port on the Linksys router and your new computer.
