It seems to be working for me very fine with the USB port. The maximum speed of the cable connection is slower then the max of the USB.
As far as the router - get Zone Alarm 2.6. It's free an good. Router would be very good too, but you should get it only if you want to connect more then one computer to the internet.
Good luck
