Hi, first time posting, sorry if I am doing it wrong.

 

  I am moving to another house, and I am thinking about getting a Gigabit internet connect for the new place, but the question is, do I need a Gigabit modem to work with a gigabit router?? or does the modem not matter??

You will need a Modem that can handle those speeds. If you get a cheap modem you wont get the full speeds that you are paying for.

 

If your ISP uses DOCSIS 3.0 then it has to support it.
