I have a Motorola Cable modem supplied to me by my cable company. One end is connected to a fork or splitter on the incoming cable. Next I have a cheap AOpen router ($20 - $25 US or CAD$) which can take four computer installations connected by a RJ45 line. By luck this house was purchased with lines from every room. That means the router can handle anything up to 100 feet away. Buy as long a RJ45 line as you think you will need.
RJ45 is actually a connector type but what is more significant is the wire type. You need cat 5 wire for 100M connections and they can be up to 100 meters long.
