The antenna would be your router, which should have an ethernet cable going to the modem. You can plug your ethernet cable(from computer) into the modem if you have extra open jacks, or to the router if you have no extra jacks on the modem.

But no special portforwarding features or firewalls from the modem.

Thats a little hard to say. Many ISP's give you a Gateway which is a modem and router in one. So if the box without antenna's has multiple Ethernet ports, then its most likely a gateway. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
