Ethernet connection options for R6330

The modem from my ISP only has one ethernet port. I need to plug in both my Netgear router, and a PC with only a hardwire option. Will the router let me run the PC's ethernet through it? Do I need a splitter, or a modem with two ethernet ports from my ISP? NOTE: My model is actually R6330. Any suggestions will be appreciated!

   Thanks for that detailed description.

    Sounds like a modem.

   Ok.  Connect the R6330 WAN/Internet port to the Ethernet port on your
(unspecified) "The modem from my ISP".  Connect any wired client
devices, like, for example, your "a PC", to the R6330 (LAN Ethernet
ports).  Pretty much as described in the R6330 User Manual.

   No.

   Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.  Read.
