if you only go with a modem, and not a router, you will need a nat router, as the modem will only allow for one computer signed on at a time. So if you want multiple computers on the network at once, it is best to go with a modem and a router. The easiest route is using a wireless router, but it is less secure and slower than hard wire, but not many houses are hard wired yet in the villages. I designed and installed the house network after Galaxy hard wired the outlets with ethernet instead of phone for streaming, and still have wireless overhead in the center of the house.
