Hence, why you need to enable WPA security when you hook up your devices/computers. Better to have a hardware router between the computer and the modem because then you can be protected by NAT and the router's built-in security and an active firewall. You have zero security between you and every other person on the Internet. The downside of this is you are now connected directly to the Internet. However, if only one device will connect to the modem, then you can run an Ethernet line from the modem directly to the computer. They establish a wireless connection and have a router built-in. The modems do not need a connection to a router for configuration. If the Motorola modem/router has four Ethernet ports plus wireless, then you would have no need of the AEBS other than to extend a wireless network, but Apple routers do not play nice with non-Apple network devices.
