If it's only a modem, no, because it has no way of assigning IPs to receiving devices (i.e. a router with DHCP). If it's a combo unit, then it has the necessary bits already and you don't need another router.

AFAIK, that's functionally a router without the switching part (offloaded to external switch via Ethernet).
