Assuming I understand your question. You want to know which offers better download performance a router or a modem?


Answer: It doesn't matter.

Why? Because your download speed is limited by the person you're downloading the file from.


Therefore if you have a T3 = 45Mbps connection and the person you are transferring data from only has a 56Kbps you will only be able to communicate @ 56Kbps or less.


Hope this helps to clear things up a bit.
