If you fulfill the minimum subscription period, rightfully it should be a free replacement. Ideally, the modem and router in one set will be the best. But it is not the case here.

We always have one modem and one router. For modem, even with restrictions on the port, there is always one port allowed for you to link to the router for the internet.

Don't like the router provided by the service provider.

Long ago, there are inbuilt restrictions by the service providers. They will like to say, it is original from the manufacturer and there is no change. You can change and change, they are the same. You buy the same model from Sim Lim, it is different and flexible. Unlocked model.
