That's exactly the right solution to the issue. As it stands, any client can talk to the modem and mess up connectivity.
And as it turns out, simple switches with VLAN capability aren't expensive either.
The magic of VLANs then allows putting everything on one physical interface for the router. This essentially turns the switch into a port multiplexer for the firewall (10GBe comes in handy there). Also useful in case the router is a VM, since only a single NIC needs to be passed to it.
