Is it a "modem"? Probably not. They could call it an BB adapter. But, most people refer to an adapter that lets a PC connect to the internet as ... a modem. Let's just go with the flow.
AFAIK, routers can have ADSL "modems" built in, or not; but they're no use for cable-BB, you need a separate cable-BB "modem".
