My ISP supplied "modem" does all that but is cable supplied. It also can
 supply wired phone service (my old house is wired for landline) which I
 used for years before quitting when my cell got WiFi calling. It also has a
 backup battery that will keep me online in a power failure. The ISP usually
 picks the middle of the night to update it so there's very little down time
 for my use. My ISP does allow outside modems but for me that would be a
 PITA. Others MMV though...
