Is your internet service provider by way of DSL?

If you have DSL then no don't unplug it. Otherwise I've seen cable modems that have a phone line and I believe it's used as a backup if the cable network goes down it switches to dialup if you have it setup that way. If it's a cable modem then yeah you should be able to unplug it

Since you stated "router", is your router and modem combined? If so it would need the phone line for dsl, if not, only the modem would need the phone line, not the router.
