You choose what router you have, not modem. then you sleect steam server and it'll walk you through how to forward your ports. This will allow users to connect to your server.
If you're using WiFi if you get low signals, you're going to get extreme lag.

Unless your cable/dsl modem can send out wireless signals, then it'd still technically be a router since it can route wireless signals.

You'll still need to forward your ports, are you putting your LAN ip in the address bar? or are you using 192.168.1.1? whoever setup your network could have change the IP of your outer, you can find out by refering to ipconfig and looking at the ip of your gateway.
