Yes it's custom firmware that can be flashed to a number of routers.

No, this is not modded firmware for the SH.

As the Sh doesn't do PAT the answer is to put the unit into modem mode and add a router of your choice that can do PAT.

Correct, but no more 'complex' than adding a router to a standalone modem.
