There’s no way to fully secure his device without a router. Since it relies on a modem and connects to the public internet, you’ll need to add protective measures like a firewall or a VPN. If he can’t get a router now, at least consider these steps: enable encryption, keep software updated, and monitor for suspicious activity.

It should function as expected. Upon first connection, the system will prompt about your network type—Public or Private. Choosing Public tightens the Windows Firewall and disables some features typically available on a Private network. You can adjust the profile afterward once you install a router.
