connecting 2 pcs to internet

okay folks am a bit of a novice at this and cant get my head around it

basically im always hogging the internet meaning nobody else can get online

we have 2 pcs, both pcs are 10 meters away from the main phone socket (one downstairs and the other upstairs) both have a 10meters phone extention cable fitted around the skirting board at the moment with a bt voyager modem for each pc, which works great but only one pc can go online at a time. or can they?

ive been looking at a BT voyager 205 router which has sockets for 2 pcs but cant figure out how i would lead it up

would the router be next to one of the pcs meaning a 20 meter extention cable to the other pc

or would it be next to the main phone socket with a 10 meter cable to each pc

can somebody shed some light on it please as its making my head hurt

i found this webpage on the net with diagrams but it shows set ups with ethernet cards and hub etc which would mount up the price if having to buy all that.
