supposedly one of the best routers out and i need a £24 modem to make it work pretty **bleep** !

The "reason" is that you bought a router. This is not the same thing as a modem/router.
You can't expect boxes to say what they don't include.
Your ISP almost certainly explains what you need. It might even offer to sell you the hardware. Most do, albeit at a price.
