Now I could be missing something here, but is this a common scenario where you can just plug the router straight onto the ISP line? Maybe I've never run across such an ISP and they're actually really common except for all the ones I've had.

This surprised me, but it somehow makes sense if they previously released poor products in the NA market and subsequently pulled out. It's also a bit surprising since I wasn't aware of that opinion before buying it, and as one should be able to see, sort of enjoy this thing. Wasn't aware of the DECT difference either which may be a concern in the future for us. May be, if my DECT stuff kicks the bucket while we're over that way.
In the end, though, I notice that the consensus is that I should have instead bought the cheapest router (not modem) I could find and forget everything else because it's too expensive. Got it. Sorry for wasting everyone's time. It won't happen again.
