So i'm trying to create a local area network that doesn't have access to the internet. 

Am currently using a Asus RT56u, do i just setup the router then plug ethernet cables from each pc into the router? 

 

I want to be able to share files over the network locally

Yeah. That's literally all you need to do.

Yes, u want to share them, so that everybody can read and copy them.

Also make sure every PC is in the same network-group.
