I'm not familiar with Embarq, although a quick Google search has revealed that they have videos on how to set up your connection on Youtube. This amuses me.

It looks like your modem is handling PPPoE. It may or may not be running a NAT server -- either way, a wireless router is still you're simplest option (for clarity, a typical wireless router is actually a router, switch and access point all in one box). There will be a slight difference in setting everything up depending on exactly what the modem is already doing for you, but in all likelihood it'll be a matter of just plugging it in.
