Connecting 2 computers to internet

I have an Apple iMac and a Pc, and I want to connect both of them to the internet simultaeneously using an ethernet cable connection from each computer to a router.

I am currently using a BT Voyager 220V ADSL Router, which only has one ethernet port, so I have to keep changing the ethernet cable connection from one computer to the other.

Is there a BT router which has more than one ethernet port, so I can connect both computers simultaneously, or is there a hub with ethernet ports which I can use to link  the router and the computers?

 

Thanks for any advice.

You should be able to install USB on the Windows PC and keep the Mac via ethernet on the 220v and have them both connected at the same time.

Thanks for your response.

That sounds very useful. I will look into it.
