And you can get any router you want, they are very inexpensive.
If your broadband modem has an RJ45 connection then you want to make sure
your router has a WAN port for the best connection. When you set this up
make sure you DO NOT use a cross-over ethernet cable because it WILL NOT
WORK. You need to have a ethernet network cable. One from router to each
PC's NIC and one to go from your router WAN connection to Modem.
