    In router specs it is written:

    Ports: Internet: One 10/100 RJ-45 Port for Cable/DSL Modem; LAN: Four 10/100 RJ-45 Switched Ports

    Does it mean, i need Cable/DSL modem as additional device?

    Yes, totally agree. But from my point and judging, you need a Cable Modem too.

    Yeah, after reading it a couple times, you need a Modem.

    I means there is one port for the cable modem ethernet cable to plug into and four ports for other computers to plug into. It is a four port rotuer. You have to plug the cable modem into the router. From the rotuer other computer can plug into the network.
