It may be a router, or it may be just a modem. That depends on the
device, and the configuration (some can be configured to be a router, or
just a bridge).
Your email headers show a private IP address and a public one, so I'm
presuming that you have a router in your network.

Does your modem have a way of being configured, or is it just some black
box with no user adjustments at all? If it has a little webserver, you
can browse to it and see how its set up (router or bridge, and its IP
addresses).

No gateway? Hmm, same here. I'm sure there used to be a "gateway"
section in those results. Maybe I'm recalling when I used to have dial
up internet, and the ifconfig results for the ppp0 interface.

You could try.
I'm guessing that you do have a router, you could try looking for it at
one of the common addresses for that private subnet, either
192.168.1.254 or 192.168.1.1 (x.x.x.254 being a common address for
routers, and the like, x.x.x.1 being another common address for the
first thing on the network).

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
