Usually, the router are set to "bridge", you would need to create a connection on your computer to connect to the internet.
You can change the configuration of the router from "bridge" to "router", and in the wan settings, you enter your username and password and the router will connect automatically, so you have an "always on" connection and do not need a dialer.
I believe, the ip address of the router is 192.168.1.1, the username and password should be admin/admin.
Log into the router and check there the configuration. Note all changes you make in case you screw up something...
Set the router to "router" mode, enter your username and password in the wan settings, make sure dhcp is on, save and restart the router.
The router should automatically connect without the need of a dialer on the pc.
If this is successful, try to browse (do not use a dialer). If this works, unplug the pc and plug it into another posrt, you still should be able to browse. If this also works, you can connect peacefully 4 pc's.
I can not verify this, I have another router connected to the modem, so this is just how I think it will work.
