Need Help with Networking to 360

I have no experience networking, AT ALL, and next month I'm getting a 360. I have DSL. Currently, the DSL line is connected from the wall, to my power bar, inputs then outputs (just say its a direct connection) into the modem. Then an ethernet cable is conecting the modem to my PC. My Network Card is a Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC - Packet Scheduler Miniport. And for some reason, my LAN currently has limited or no connectivity. Why is that?

Anyway, I'm looking at a Linksys BEFSR41 (v3) Router. It's a good cost and its compatible with the 360.

I have an idea of what my network is gonna look like but i wanna go over it with you guys. heres a pic of what i think it'll look like.

I know its not the best but I hope you understand it. Is that right? and will my LAN connection be better with a network setup? (its at limited to no connectivity right now). An how easy is this network to setup? can it be reversed?
 
That's exactly how it should be set up. All you need to do is plug in all the equipment exactly like its shown in the drawing and you'll be good to go. You shouldn't have to do any extra configuring. Just plug in and go.
