That's because the modem only allows one connection at a time, if you want simultaneous connections you need to buy a router. The setup instructions that come with the router are pretty straight forward but if you Google it there's tons of information and tutorials on adding a basic router (Linksys, D-Link, Netgear) to a home internet connection.
