    the modem would be the first point of internet into house from supplier,it would need a homeplug and lan cable to distribute internet through household,if you had 4 devices in a room a router and a homeplug and lan cable,1 device in 1 room and 1 homeplug,hopefully all wiring in house is connected or you wont get a connection from circuit.
