I just ordered BT broadband and the package comes with a router that has 1 usb connection and 1 ethernet connection. I need to know can you get an adapter or somthing that will turn it into 2 ethernet connections.

Broadband questions
why? it will just be a modem not a router, you wont be able to use both at the same time
It is a Router/ modem which you can connect 2 computers 2 at one time. One is connected by usb and the other is by ethernet. It is alot easier if I can connect computers by ethernet thats all.
are you sure? they not usally like that
If it is a router (would be unusual, I haven't seen any that support USB and ethernet simulataneously as there's no call for it normall), just buy a switch/hub and plug it in.
If it isn't a router, buy a router...wireless or wired.

You can attach a hub and connect as many nodes as you like. Bandwidth will suffer the more connections you have but go ahead.
I have a wireless router and an NTL broadband box and i have to plug the Broadband into the wireless then share the connection. Tried to plu usb and ethernet in at the same time as your suggesting but it doesnt quite work. It kinda cuts one of them off.

The easist thing for you to do would to buy a router with two ethernet ports.
