The answer depends on your service level (internet only, double play, triple play, etc), requirements (wireless, # ports, etc), and budget. I prefer a separate modem and router. That said, look for the highest spec units you can afford. We recently upgraded to Triple PlaySo I needed to upgrade my modem. For the modem, look for DOCSIS 3.1 and as many channels as possible. That will future-proof your modem. I went with a CM1050 because I needed voice capability. If you don’t need voice, the CM1000 is basically the same. My speed test went from about 98mb to 158mb In my case I went with an R7000p. It’s an AC2300 wireless (get the highest AC# you can afford). It has 4 GigE ports (I needed more so I added a separate switch), and 2 USB 3.0 ports that can be used for shared storage or printing ( I don’t use these). If you need an all in one, a C7800 has all of the specs but is pricey. Good luck.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I also have comcast or Xfinity and im using the netgear nighthawk modem and the orbi router and satellite system that covers up to 8000 sq ft home, and it is flawless...i paid for the crapy router modem combo from comcast for 2 years and never had a very good signal. Now with my current setup ive got wifi to ever device at full steam. Its great and also very fast.
