DannyBoy; what brand modem are you using; typical cable modems have one port, hence the need for a router to provide additional ports; some of ATT's 2Wire gateways have multiple ports and include a DHCP service but they are weak on security and do not have sufficient firewall and encryption capabilities; I recommend a router to better segregate your home network from the possibility of internet hackers;
