Topic: Need help to build a modem router

Hi folks,
I need to build a modem router. It will be interfaced with cable provided by ISP. Also it should have a WAN ethernet port. Along with these I need atleast 4 LAN ports with one being powered by PoE (Power Over Ethernet). Apart from these I need to keep provision for certain addons.....like plug and play cards featuring ADSL 2+, 802.11ad (Wi-Fi), SHDSL, NAS, VoIP etc.

Which processor should I look for? Is there any single SOC having all these features? Also I have seen certain modem routers such as Netgear C3700...Which Processor is used in such combo devices? 

What should be the interface bus for add-on cards?
