Ethernet port busted

Nerevarine

Incarnate
During the recent thunderstorm, the ethernet port for my Motorola SB5101 modem got damaged and isnt working, however the modem is functioning well with the usb port.. I need to split the USB connection across 2 computers, is that possible?? I m willing to spend upto 2k
I have tried
Connecting the USB cable from modem -> USB Female To Female Adapter -> USB HUB -> 2 USB Male 2 Male cables, however, the modem does not work when I connect the F2F connector.. Ive tried that without the hub directly

USB From Modem -> F2F connector -> Male to male (sort of like extender).. but the PC fails to recognize the modem
Also tried USB to RJ45 converter, doesnt work

What should I do ? Are there any Routers that take input from USB and not through RJ45 ?

This router has a usb port to connect 3g Dongles but will it work with a cable modem ???
