features? Well, the "features" of a true standard 56k modem are that it accepts and sends information in bits and packages through a phone line. DSL and Cable modems are different.

Can I replace my adsl modem with a modem router?

Yes you can because the modem router has a modem built in. There are different types of modem routers that suit different needs. If you are only going to be surfing the web you will need a "N" modem router, if you are going to be sharing files then you will need a "N+" modem router and if you are going to be gaming e.g. connecting to a Xbox 360 or PlayStaion 3 you will need a "N+N" modem router, I would personally recommend Belkin modem routers. Hope you find this useful!
