Currently, I know how connect computers via direct connection(eg, Com ports, Printer cable) but i want to connect more computers together and able to get files from each other by connecting to a router.

Currently i have two computers, one connected to the router via LAN while the other is connected to the router via a wireless connection.

Can someone tell me how i can connect this two computers together? I have them both using the same workgroup name, and tried many ways to connect them yet failed.

And allow File & Printer Sharing this should allow you to do what you want.

After you have done this you'll have to manually share the files/Folders depending on what they are and also at that time you can set permissions by requesting a password if necessary.

You may also need to look at the setup of the Router as it's possible that the LAN and WIFI sides are not talking to each other as well.
