Another question, i want to plug my pc into my routers...

why woudl you want to do that? Out of ports?

You MIGHT get it to work, but it's not going to work very well (it's not designed for that)
 
The WAN port is designed to connect your network (the LAN ports) to an external network such as your ISP. It is not designed to be connected to another computer and very rarely will ever work.

The only way this would work, and the only way you would WANT to do what you are describing, is if the computer on the WAN port is set up as a router (such as a Linux firewall) or has Internet Connection Sharing enabled. This would allow computers attached to the LAN ports on the router to access the Internet through the PC on the WAN port, but they will not be able to share resources such as printers and files. If you just need more ports to plug computers in to, get a switch and plug it into one of the LAN ports, then plug any extra computers into the switch.
 
Decide on your network address scheme..
give your router's wan port a static address.
you may have to turn off DHCP and assign static ip's to your other systems.
give your pc a static IP address at a gateway address of the wan port.
don't forget your DNS's too.

if you stand on your head, drink a cola, and fart at the same time, this may just work. other wise your up the creek.
