You are describing a ROUTER.
A ROUTER contains a WAN (Wide Area Network) adapter or an actual WAN device like a DSL modem or Cable modem. This provides access to the INTERNET.
It also contains a group of LAN (Local Area Network) adapters (HUB/SWITCH), for computers that need to connect with Catagory-5 Ethernet cable to each other and the WAN.
It may Contain a wireless access point as well, for computers that need to connect via WIFI to the LAN and WAN.
Most ROUTER boxes have built-in FIREWALL capability to lock down ports and filter network traffic coming in and going out of the WAN.
So, there you have it.
