You need a router. The 2-Wire is just a modem.

The first thing which is important is that 1 cable from you broad band goes to your uplink port of your gigaway router if it doesn't have auto sensing.

second.

the broadband is that a modem or router. Do you already have more than 1 computer working on the internet.

The 2Wire modem has his own DHCP server. But Perhaps is the Gigaway 8 is s hub, its the same as connecting various equipment on the same cable. In other words, all the items on the hub is trying to communicates at the same time, in ethernet only one can communicate at a time. So you need a switch. Altough, look similar, the switch do no share the same "cable". It allows all to communicate in a order fashion making a collision free connection.
