Does the router have two ethernet ports?

Do you know that we're all in line for succession to the throne? Really?
Well, if forty-eight million, two hundred thousand, seven hundred and one people died I'd be Queen.

And do the instructions that came with the router tell you that you can use both ports at the same time or only one or the other?

it says i can connect them both using ethernet or usb, so i have ethernet on my main computer and usb on the other one, but it comes up saying you have a plug not connected.

Try switching everything off, both PCs and the router. By that I mean removing the power lead from all three. Then power up the router, wait a minute then power up the PC connected via ethernet. See if you still get the message. If not power up the USB PC and see what happens.
