        Modem bridge mode (if that's what you mean?) depends on your ISP.
        Otherwise, it is definitely helpful to avoid a possible dual NAT problem.
        Call your service provider, first.

          Yes, you will almost always need a modem of some sort. The only time you would not is if you have a direct Ethernet connection which would be extremely in likely in the UK, certainly for any home/soho user.
          But you can ditch the ISP supplied router in almost all cases and use something is, or acts as, a modem only.
