Makes absolutely no sense.
I agree that it's silly to use a modem when a router can handle this; however, my ISP will not let me use the modem in bridge mode and the router as the modem. The only way to get wireless in my house without both a modem and wireless gateway/router is to pay an extra $15 a month for them to give me some junky Linksys router with their sticker on it.
