There's a few questions i think should have been asked(or i should have asked). What kind of internet connection does your m8 have. And how often is he going to share the internet connection. Is he only going to share it like a few hours a day like when friends come to visit him, or does he have to share it ca. 24 hours each day.

Personally, of all the replies here(including mine ofcause), i think meglmaniac's reply is the only one that explains the difference between a router and a switch, except that a normal switch makes it decisions based on mac-addresses, not ip addresses.
