That's the same standard connection we use here and I see day in and day out. Any router will work. Just don't get one that's labeled modem/router because that won't work.

What you usually see is a 4-port wireless router. You would place the router between your modem and your computer. The router has a designated port that connects to the modem. You can connect your comptuer to any of the other 4 connectors.

The one thing you need to be concerned about is the IP address setting. Most cable setups use DHCP. On your computer, go to Start / Run and type in CMD and press enter. When the window comes up, type in ipconfig /all and press enter. Let me know what it says.
