What is the difference between a dsl port and an ethernet port?

On my modem, it has a dsl port and an ethernet port. What’s the difference?

How do I split or distribute the ethernet output from my cable modem?

I want to hardwire an internet radio and the modem has only one ethernet output which provides internet to my PC. Can I split or run the ethernet into a hub or distributor?

How do I add an extra ethernet port to my modem?

I have a Verizon DSL modem with only one ethernet port, and I need to be able to support 2 computers that can both be connected at the same time. We’ve tried a router, and it didn’t really work so well (kept losing the connection to the internet). I’ve heard that they sell splitters for ethernet cables. Would they work, and support 2 simultaneously active connections? Are there any other solutions? Thanks!
