Modem -> router -> switch -> devices.

Switch, not 'splitter'.

Really depends on how many devices you want to connect. For instance I only need to connect two to three devices hard wired and three are fine connecting wireless, so I just purchases a four port wireless router. My (current) two systems are hard wired to the router and my two laptops and kindle can all connect wireless.

Now understand, I don't to anything too intensive on my wireless devices; work on one and finances/browsing on the other. I wouldn't want to try and play an online game over a wireless connection. If you're going to need more than four devices hard wired to the router, then you'll want a set up as USAFRet suggests.
