One port can be hardwired into the "main PC' and the antenna sends a signal to any wirelwess remote PCs I have??? Is this how it works. I'm a total noob at Networking. Please help.

Yes, you've got the idea. The cable will plug into the cable modem, and then from the cable modem will plug into the router.
You can plug up to 4 PCs into the router using ethernet cables. You can ALSO have PCs connect to the router wirelessly. You're limited only by the maximum user-limit, which is likely something crazy like 256.
SO, since this thing will probably sit near your "main pc," you'll probably want to plug your main pc into the router using an ethernet cable. Your other PCs you can connect as you see fit, either wired or wirelessly.
