I think there are 2 different things here? A "router" is just the device that connects to the "modem". The router then has the extra ports and WiFi that you connect to from your devices (computer, phone, tablet, etc)
The modem is what connects your home to the internet from your provider.
Actually most of these devices provide a third function besides being a modem and a wired router. That is, they are also commonly a Wireless Access Point (WAP)
In the "old days" this might be 3 separate boxes.
Actually, some include a 4th function, a Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) adapter so you can connect your old wired telephones.
