Do you need a modem besides a WiFi router?
Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: If you use cable, split the incoming signal, sending one to a cable box, and the other to a modem. The modem then connects to the router, and, depending if the cable signal also provides phone service, and the modem is equipped to decode telephony, the phone line is also connected to the modem output. Jacks on the back of the modem and instructions are easy to point you in the right direction as to which cords plug into which jacks.
