Using no router for a short period is fine. It won’t affect your connection unless you rely heavily on it.

These aren't traditional security measures embedded directly into home routers.
Who said that? Unless we're discussing 28.8K modems because ISDN means all modems have routing capabilities—modems themselves aren't what they used to be anymore. Today, most devices act as modem-routers. You usually don’t need a separate router unless you want a separate subnetwork with its own IP range and settings inside the main LAN.
This device functions as a pure modem, supporting DSL and cable connections for specific models. It operates independently as a modem only—https://www.bestbuy.com/site/arris-surfboard-docsis-3-0-cable-modem-black/6290768.p?skuId=6290768&ref=212&loc=1&gclsrc=aw.ds&ds_rl=1266837&ref=212&loc=1&gclid=CjwKCAiArK_fBRABEiwA0gOOc9NUrdHjUoVsJlyqoCw8JPpoVM47NjbbTcoH7mMy8JDTJtCK9jHXVxoCfBYQAvD_BwE. A photo of its rear shows it would need multiple Ethernet ports if acting as a gateway, though most only provide one or four. Unlike routers that separate networks and enable communication between them, this model simply changes your connection type from one medium to another without managing separate subnets. Your connected PC receives an IP address assigned by your ISP, and these units just facilitate converting data formats between Ethernet and cable.
Everyone chill, it was funny buying a router too. But there’s a bigger issue—something with the coaxial setup in the house isn’t working right. The modem and TV boxes aren’t communicating properly. I also received my TV boxes today. What I got is what I described.
These options match exactly what I was considering for the TP-Link and Arris choices.
Choose the TP Link router for its extensive community and support for custom ROMs.
