I don't experience this problem. It is true that I have a router
connected to the modem and never change it. But then, from your
description I suspect that your friend will connect a computer to the
modem and never change anything, isn't this right? No need for a
router. That's one cable to connect, once...

Anyway, that was just a suggestion.
