Yes and no. You can't use the router the typical way, because the cable would normally go from the wall to the modem, and then from the modem to the router. Then, you would send a cable from the router to the computer (and another cable from the router to the computer if you have more than one computer). But, you can share the connection using Internet Connection Sharing or even a proxy program.
