Works with PCs: check.
Three or four wired Ethernet connectors: check.
I don't think you need to change anything about your modem. As long as it spits out an IP, the Airport can do NAT/DHCP for all your computers wired and wireless.

Does it have an input from dsl ethernet and 4 ethernet ports like my existing unit. I know dumb question. I haven't slept in weeks with double shifts and the unity just went down with a watchdown looming so I'm brain dead and wifi less at home. ;-( Also I know I had to set my dsl modem to I believe bridged mode to work with the netgear and other routers. I assume the current dsl modem from pacbells current configuration is correct to hook to airport extreme just like it did the netgear router. Does that make sense?
