I think it goog general advice to have a seperate broadband router box for
broadband connections, and connect computer to router by ethernet.

This means several machines can use the broadband at the same time, but
using a switch (or router with several ethernet ports). There is no
special software needed for the computers - just the standard ethernet
stuff.
