A connection to the internet. But i am pretty sure they are using their modem to enforce it. cause as soon as I installed a switch. I was able to connect multiple devices to the internet ( Althought the line is split as I am only using a single line from the router). If it was setup when you 1st set things up. Then yes. I have never set that manually. I have only played with ( and failed) with a wiregurd vpn and vlans.

It restricts access to a limited number of IP addresses. It’s typical for the setup to allow just one device, meaning your router should be the sole connected point.

many devices called "modems" are really just "modem-routers." For instance, my router—which functions as a modem—is equipped with four Ethernet ports, allowing me to connect multiple gadgets via Ethernet (I think those are the hidden "lines"). It also supports around 16 or more devices through Wi-Fi. Used to have a router when I was on consoles, but now only my PC is connected, since using a router would add delay and I don’t rely on Wi-Fi because my phone already has unlimited mobile data. Additionally, this modem-router isn’t from my ISP; the law permits any modem, and ISPs aren’t required to provide their own gear.

But why? It doesn’t seem any better than your current setup... as discussed before, upgrading your internet service provider will probably provide a new modem. If that doesn’t work for any reason, consider buying a different one instead of something random you don’t even know is compatible. That makes no sense in my view.
