What are you calling a PLC?
You would connect your "modem" to he switch and everything would connect to the switch. Only the switch would connect to the modem.
You modem is actually a modem and a router and if it has wifi its also an access point. If you want to buy a separate router you need to do a lot of reading on NAT (Network Address Translation) and how to disable it on your modem so the new router does it. That's outside to scope of this forum though. Just out of my own curiosity what kind of modem/service do you have for internet?
