Need help setting up a wired network...

Ok, so I need to set up a wired network to share a DSL connection for 6 computers. My question is, can I just buy a router with a four port switch and buy another 4 port switch, then connect the 4 port switch to the 4 port router? Will this effectively share the network connection? Or should I try to find a router with a built in 8 port switch?

Any guidance would be much appreciated. Also, if this will work, any suggestions on good routers and switches?


Thanks so much...
 
There are very few 8 ports Router, and they are needlessly Expensive.

A 4 ports Router + a Switch is a good solution.
