It's called a PPPOE connection and just getting a cable router won't
help unless it supports that type of thing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-Point_Protocol_over_Ethernet

The OP should use their favorite search engine and see what they can
turn up. I've not setup a PPPOE connection under Linux so unfortunately
can't help other than to post this link:

Thank you, now that I have the proper keywords I'll head over to
google (where I started). Thanks.
