For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Routers now are fairly easy to set up, and actually make constructing, and configuring a home network very easy.
NTL does not need to be told that you will be sharing your connection amongst lots of computers - however, any maintenence calls that you make (if your connection goes down for no apparent reason, for instance) should be made without the router connected - just connect the NTL cable straight into one of the computers (the support at NTL will tell you to do this in the call, so you may as well be prepared).
Most routers now can be configured via a "web interface" - which means that you can do all the settings from within a web browser - normally by simply typing in some IP like 192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.1 - there are a few variants.
For networking machines, all you need to do is configure the router to be a DHCP server (which it will be by default), and then set up each computer's network connection to get it's IP address via DHCP (which is the usual default setting) - then the router will take over keeping track of the IP addresses of the computers on the network. Setting static IPs is just as easy, in case you need a computer always on a particular IP (if you were running a web server, for instance).
And I think that's it.
Hope this was of help
