Post NTL - Cable Router

A colleague has a USB cable modem from NTL which plugs directly into his PC to provide broadband connectivity. I suggested that a proper router would help secure/speed up his system and also provide further connectivity for more PC's.

The only problem is I cannot find anything that will connect to a USB cable modem and present ethernet for the pc's.

Has anyone any recommendations please?

Thanks in advance.

The NTL cable modem has an Ethernet output, so all you need is a standard ethernet router with 1xethernet input and x number of outputs. There's loads to choose from. Something like this for example...

Thanks, my "esteemed" colleague assured me there was no ethernet port just USB, but when I asked him to look again (twice) he said "oh is that what it is"!!?? grrr.

Anyway all should be well now - thank you.
