Multifunction Network Device Question

Recently I have been thinking of rationalising my network hardware to save on power and space usage. Presently I have the following network devices which if it were possible I would like to roll into a single device.

1. Dlink ADSL2+ Wireless Modem + Router with 4 port 10/100 ethernet switch.
2. Dlink 5 port desktop gigabit switch.
3. Netcomm Multifunction (Print and Storage) server.

What I am really looking for is a single device to provide the following capabilities:
1. ADSL2+ capable modem
2. 5 or more port Gigabit ethernet switch
3. USB Print Server

I have seen all sorts of devices providing some combination of this functionality but unfortunately what I have found either lacks Gigabit ethernet or ADSL2+ or print server capabilities meaning that I have had to settle for 3 different devices each having their own power supply and taking up space and power outlets and creating unnecessary heat.

Does anyone know of a device which might handle all of my requirements or is there no such thing available at this stage?
