    you will need something that has 5 ethernet ports on the back, 1 for input(your irish bb modem) and 5 outputs for your computer and other devices. like this:

    If you're talking about IBB's Breeze then the Linksys WRT54G will be perfect. It's what I use. Dlink and Netgear will also have suitable routers. Just avoid Belkin.

    And as allen has said, you're looking for a router that has an ethernet WAN port. So avoid anything that mentions "DSL".
