For your purpose, a router with a built in switch.

To clarify, switches/hubs on their own are devices used to connect
computers together on a network - whether an internet connection is
present/required or not.

May I ask what is the diff between a switch a router and a hub!?! And
which should be used when 2 computers are sharing one internet
connection!?

You're quite right Joe - but it was the *purpose* of a hub/switch v a
router that I was querying. ;-)

True, but these days the line is quickly being blurred by the cheap SOHO

routers that are widely available. They all come with built-in switches.
