Use same USB adaptor for router and keyboard

I have a wireless modem/router for which I have bought a USB adaptor as my desktop doesn't have wireless. Now I am going to buy a wireless keyboard and mouse, so that will also come with its USB adaptor. I am running out of USB ports, so is it possible to make the keyboard / mouse use the same USB adaptor as the router, or use the keyboard USB adaptor for connecting to the router?

Do you not have an ethernet LAN port on your computer?

I suggest that if you're a heavy internet user and/or want to do some serious online gaming, it's better to connect with a LAN cable. Many wireless routers also have a few LAN ports at the back. You'll get a far faster and reliable internet connection this way. While also freeing up your USB ports and no need to rely on an adapter.

I agree with what Damien Lee said in the post above. However, if you can't get hold of an Ethernet cable, or your router is very far away from your computer, I would suggest perhaps purchasing a USB Splitter. You can get some very cheap ones, which can expand one USB Slot into 4 or even 6 new USB Slots. I have never personally used a USB Splitter so I'm unsure whether they affect speeds etc. However, I think this is the only possible option for you, unless you use an Ethernet cable, or buy a WiFi Card for your computer.
