I have a ATT DSL 2Wire Router/Modem and I have prewired my new home back to a structured media cabinet that houses the DSL router/modem.

I would like to hook up all the ports throughout the home, appx 20, do I just hook up a Linksys 24 port switch such as the one listed below to the output side of the DSL Router/Modem? Will I need to change any of the settings on the router?

This depends on the ATT DSL 2Wire Router/Modem's features.
You did not mention a model number for the Router/Modem.

Looks like it's a 2700HG, in which case it will work fine when connected to a LAN switch.
