Switch is not a splitter . Why? Modem can't perform DHCP. Each device needs own ip addresses. You should position switch between router and devices. Like this modem >> router >> switch >> devices

You need a router. Does your modem have a router? If so, then it should work. If it doesn't, then you need to buy one. You can plug your switch into the router if you need the extra ports.
