Hello All: Thanks for all the responses. They make me understand the question deeper.
After buying the router, I just put it between my PCs and cable-modem, it works immediately. I did not do any design/configuration for the router. I have even not found the router configuration data in my PC. After knowing the route public address and PC private address, how to make the PC reachable for outer PCs?
