You have to reset your modem every time you use a different device when it comes to Static IP. That's rather time consuming and I'm usually using the internet (facebook, lol) the same time I'm playing on my Wii. It's more convenient to have a router.
I think then that I have static, since I have to do that every time. Plus, my desktop's tower is in a difficult place, since its basically a cupboard with a hole in the corner to run wires through, so removing and replacing the ethernet cable is a pain. I also do share it with my dad, so anytime he would want to get on, I would have to unplug the cable from my xBox. and yes, i do need to restart the modem every time. so given that, would i need a switch or a router?
