All DSL modems have built in routers.
Not exactly true. As far as I have seen all devices which "do" PPPoA are modem/routers. But that does not imply that all DSL modems have built-in routers.

I have a number of DSL modems without built-in routers which are working fine. I prefer it that way since there is then a clear demarc between the ISP gear (DSL modem) and my gear (router and everything on my side of the router).
