Hi guys! I need to setup 50 computers for an event, I was wondering how could I connect them to the internet, since that's what the company wants, I was thinking getting a router and going like this,

Cablemodem----> Router----> 3, 20 port switches. Would setting a network like this work?

Please I need help, or what are my other options to make this work.

I am not in the Networking field, so no, I am actually doing extra stuff from my regular job. They should promote me if that's the case. Any suggestions on the a specific router?

Spend $500 of that to hire a local networking guy for a day or two to suggest equipment and set it up.
There are still a LOT of questions that need to be asked and answered.
