I can access internet on a network via a LAN cable by first logging into a webpage which then directs me to internet. Now I want to share that internet connection via a router with my other devices. Is that possible?

A router unfortunately wont generate a new IP address as it will still have the same ISP providing the internet, the only way to change your IP address is to contact your ISP and ask them to change your IP.
You can also get a proxy or VPN to visit the page but they are the only other options.

Easiest way to complete this task is to buy a switch. The ethernet which is connected to the internet will go into 1 port of the switch, then you have either 4 other ports or 7 other ports depending on how big switch you buy. Connect any devices that will require internet into the switch to give them access to the internet.
Internet Source (Modem/Router) --> Switch via Ethernet --> Switch to Devices via Ethernet

Thanks Jason but all my other devises only support WiFi! Also I already have a router and if possible to do it with a router then it would be better for me....(P.S: my internet source is simply a DSL cable coming from a wall plug.)

Are you able to login to this router that your have, if so are you able to access your router just go into your wireless settings and setup an SSID with a password. You will then be able to connect to the internet with all of your wireless devices.

Thanks Jason! Let me to tell you the truth and not to make you more confused so you know why I want to use a router so much! The reason is that my IP address has got banned on a website and unfortunately it seems my IP address is a static one… I mean there is always this IP address on this network for all of my devices and never changes no matter what I do… funny is that when I get banned on a specific website all of my other devices get banned too as all have this same constant IP address. I don’t know how it works but it seems they have assigned one IP address to several computers in this network! Apart from VPN and proxy solution, using a router was my only hope to solve this problem for myself. But now I am afraid routers won’t generate new IP addresses or can they?? This is my only question from you! If yes, then I am ready to invest any money to buy any router to hopefully have a new IP address….
