"Cable modem into router, then split to each computer from the router?"
Exactly. You may need guidance and help from the cable company. Don't be reluctant to call -- it's no extra charge and that's what they're there for.

When we got DSL they provided support for one computer only. No network support. Had to do that on my own... I don't know which definition of "router" is being used here; if it's an Ethernet hub/switch -- yup. (I don't recall if I had to play with DHCP settings, though I did, just so the units with fixed IP address didn't have to be reconfigured.)

They may have grown more cooperative, or it could be a local thing. Call the cable support line and ask. It shouldn't hurt.
