You can not connect two computers with the same IP address.

They must have a different IP address otherwise the router will not know where to route the traffic to.

It would be like sending mail to tenants at an apartment complex with no numbers on the apartments, and no names on the mail, it just says the apartment complex address.

You need a router. It will sit between you ISP connection and your home network. Routers can supply a different IP address for each computer that is exclusively for an internal network, then route from those computers to the internet. A cheap router is normally sufficient for this. If you want WiFi too, then some more attention need to be paid to the quality of the WiFi access point that WiFi built into the router. As with most things, more money often get you equipment that is better in one way or another, but the difference may not be worth it to you.
