With the wireless router you still need to have a modem to access the internet.

With the wireless modem-router you don't need a separate modem (it's already combined with your router) and this is actually called a "gateway modem".

A "wireless modem router" also includes the hardware necessary to connect to your cable/DSL/whatever Internet provider.
