Cable internet and router help

[ichabod crane]

Hi a friend of mine has cable internet coming into there house, at the point of entry it is a coaxial style socket, you plug this into a box and it changed it to an ethernet connection which will plug straight into a pc and work like LAN. he wants to use a wireless router with this setup how would we go about this? he has a netgear modem wireless router 54mps version, is it just a matter of placing the cable ethernet into say socket 1 then running cables from the router to the pc's and setting up ip's and dns numbers and the such? or do we need a certain router type? any help please!

are adsl modems different to cable ones?

thanks

connect the routers WAN ethernet port to the cable modem, should do the job

edit: does the router have an ADSL modem built in?
