At retail level, modem-routers seem to be rather uncommon. OTOH, owning your own
modem and router can produce an ISP savings that will pay for a modem and/or
router in as little as 6-12 months by buying quality "refurbs". I have multiples
of both, so that an ISP has little opportunity to fault my hardware when I have a
service complaint.
My iMac has MacOS and Linux X2. Changing the HD was more work than adding Linux.
