If you have Comcast, you need to hook the router up, then power off your cablemodem and router for a few minutes - then power on the router, then the cablemodem. Comcast registers the mac address of the 1st device behind the cablemodem(your pc in this case). Powering off the cablemodem will have it resync back with the office then register the mac of the router, and you and your sister should then be fine as long as you have the router configured OK.
