At least you gave them the chance.
You can place the router anywhere, although you'' obviously be limted by the phone point and lenght of the cable.
For copying files, I'll cover that bit at the end. You'll see why.
1. No. Set up the router with an ethernet cable connected to your laptop. This assumes it has a network card of course.
2. Search for wireless netwroks on the PC and of course, the one you've just set up perfectly via the laptop will appear and you connect to it. Don't forget to use WPA security with a passphrase.
3. Set up file sharing on your old laptop. Do the same on the new computer, then copy all your old files across your wireless network.
Have fun.
