The cable/DSL modems provide neither wifi nor NAT services.
A very common (the most common? at least in my perception...) configuration in Europe is a single box that combines DSL modem, NAT, WiFi AP and, if part of a phone line replacement offering, some SIP/ RTP to legacy telephony gateway (POTS, ISDN sockets). Just to give one (popular) example of such a box: Speedport W503V, € 2 when ordered with a new DSL line.
That's what most people here are likely to have in mind when they hear the term "home gateway".
(I think that term simply is unsalvageable.) Gruesse, Carsten
