While experienced users may be able to tell whether or not these
modems have DHCP suppoer, others do not.

I would recommend getting a wireless router anyway - if it turns out
that the modem does have DHCP support, you can connect the modem to
the LAN port of the router - and it will behave in the same way as a
switch. It also may be the only option in some cases when you may have
difficulty finding a switch by itself.
