I have the LAN cable from my ISP plugged into my PC Ethernet port.

1. I have to use a dail-up to connect to the internet.

2. I have my router, which i used to use earlier, but my present ISP denies configuring it for me.

3. Also I have a USB dongle to connect my PC to my router, when i used to use the same.

I would like to know if i can still use my router to share the internet connection on other devices like a Laptop / smartphone etc, while broadcasting the internet connection from my PC to the router?

STOP. Go to store, by a Wireless router. Come home, open contents AND FOLLOW the directions. Basically LAN cable from your ISP Modem into the router, the router then using OTHER LAN cables to OTHER computers OR use the Wireless. Simple Done.

Caveat: IF your ISP is REALLY OLD, it may not ALLOW multiple connecting devices, so they may not allow the router to work, all depends on your ISP. Modern Day ISP for DSL and Cable are straight forward and if your follow the directions with the router (DO NOT SKIP A STEP AT ALL) then they usually are plug and play easy.

from your cable modem or device the isp gave you plug your ethernet cable into the wan port of the wifi router.
in the router set up. have it clone the mac addresses of your pc network card.
the isp will only see your pc mac info as the router. the router will then server data to your pc and other devices by wifi or hard wire.
