I think the cable modem would need to be rebooted each time a different
computer is used because the computers would have a different mac addr;
unless one swaps the network card "as needed".
A router will be much better as one would not need to reboot the modem
for the different computers used so that the "new" mac addr of the
nic is recognized.
