Yes, some cable and DSL modems can be flashed with did-wrt or even openwrt, but before you
try, check to see if your provider will allow it. I’m in Canada and even if I own the
modem, they will not support it. It will essentially brick the modem because the providers
use a proprietary version of the software and it’s not possible to reinstall it once
changed. You end up having to buy a new modem.
I’m not trying to scare you off doing this. Just make sure first. A simple phone call to
the providers tech support.

Yes, it will work if dd-wrt is available for the chip-set in it, so you have to flash
it with the right version.
It is the first thing I do if I receive such a modem, re-flash it with dd-wrt if that is
not in it. There is
a good change that nowadays dd-wrt is already in it with new modems. At least, that is
what I see here.

Not sure if that will work if the router is also
a cable-modem or DSL-modem.
