You must reset a modem each time you take away or add a piece of equipment to it, because it needs to pick up an IP address with whatever you are hooking it up to. That IP address helps those pieces of equipment communicate with one another. If you were to add a router or another PC to a modem that had not been reset and still had the old settings from a different machine, it wouldn't allow you to connect. Those devices have to be in sync with one another.

A modem, which you normally get from the DSL provider, is really the only thing you need (apart from a computer).But it is recommended to get a home router/firewall as well, it gives basic protection against computer attacks from the internet and lets you hook up a second computer to the same DSL connection.See related Wikipedia link.
