That sounds like good news! The SH2 is excellent.

You should get all the service you need from the SH2 without deploying modem-only mode, unless you want some of the applications you can get from a full router. However if you have a larger house, even the best routers will give you reduced speed in extreme corners. To get full speed in all corners run a Cat 5e cable up to your attic or the furthest room and run a wireless access point from it. ( A cheap router not in DHCP mode will be fine.) Ensure that it transmits at 300Mb at least.
