Modem only has one Ethernet port
I can only have one device plugged into the modem at a time. Is it possible to get a modem with more than one port or use an Ethernet splitter? Or do I need to get a router?

Your modem will provide one IP address. You would want a router to provide multiple protected range IPs for multiple devices. A hub or splitter won't provide more IPs. I hope this helps explain. -Chris
