I’m unclear on the purpose of a router. Could I just have a cable modem directly connected to a (smart managed) switch that feeds all the clients?

    You need something to manage your clients on that network. If your modem can do that, good, you may not need a router. If the modem can’t or it is not setup-ed and you can’t access it, then you most likely would need one.
