Please define “modem” and describe the connection. An ADSL “modem”, for example, could be useful. Speaking generically, though, a common “modem” wouldn’t make much sense if more than a single user would be expecting to use it at a time. — Tom

if it is an ADSL modem, then you can use the dhcp in the modem and you just need to set the scope of IP

And if it’s ADSL, the ISP possibly won’t allow “internet cafe” usage. That’s also a possibility if it’s not ADSL (as well as a router unless it’s a commercial account). — Tom
