Ok, so I am not a luddite, but home networking frequently goes over my head.

Anyway, I am picking up my new DSL modem today which has built in Wifi router abilities, but when I was trying to look up reviews on the modem, I primarily found people asking for help setting it up as a bridge modem.

Why would do people want to do this? This is for a home network that connects 1 computer, 1 PS4, various appleTV/roku's, sonos music, and ipad/iphones.
