Purpose of Adaptor
Does the supplied adapter have any other purpose than connecting RJ11 to BT phone plug?
If not then can I connect my DECT base station, which has a RJ11 connection, directly to the router using a cable with RJ11 plug at each end?

The answer depends on how your DECT phone uses the RJ11 socket.
The Hub RJ11 will use the middle pair of contacts i.e. the modern standard.
If your DECT phone does the same an RJ11 - RJ11 cable will work.
But we have one BT desk phone that is not wired like that, so the original factory cable must be used + a BT socket to RJ11 plug adaptor. If you encounter the same, just buy a long BT plug / socket type extender cable.
Which ever way it works the DECT Phone can be reconnected.
