Re: can i mount a network Arch/Arch with only a router?
I'm not exactly sure what your asking here. Can you connect 2 devices to a router? Yes. Can the 2 connected devices interact with each other? Yes again. If both of your computers are running some kind of linux, you can use SSHFS to access data from one to the other... Or theres Samba if you need windows acess.

If your router has more than 1 network port, then you just need a Network Card in your HTPC, and a Network Cable.
If it doesn't have more than one port, you'll need a Network Switch as well.
Edit: wtf is a network 'sard'? I'm a retard sometimes.

If your router has more than 1 network port, then you just need a Network Card in your HTPC, and a Network Cable.
Plug them together and setup networking on the HTPC.

Read the network-related wiki pages and, if necessary, some linux networking basics, courtesy of google.
