Something like this:

is going to be your best bet.
A CAT5 cable from the router to your existing modem, and 8 CAT5 cables to each of your workstations/switches/whatever.
(Personally, I just use a 4 port unit and GboE switches for the workstation segment groups.)
How's my posting?

Just use a 1-4port router (most have 4ports as 'standard') and connect a cat5 cable to your dsl modem. Buy an 8port switch Fast/Giga. Connect the switch to your router. Connect all your pc's to the switch ports.

I just did a quick google for 8 port wireless modem & it is out there but i think i would go with an 8 port router wired or otherwise a lot more in my prise range.
