Been using a Motorola SBG6580 modem/router with comcast for several year now, 10+ wifi devices and 5 cabled devices. Good range in large single story home. Only problem with a modem/router is if one fails you replace both. There are better units on the market now, I would read all the reviews you can google.

A Zoom 5341J or a motorola sb6141 are two of the best.

I am currently with Time Warner and when they insisted there was not an outage I did a lot of research to find the best modem supported by TW and Comcast because of the pending merger, those two where the best .

Those models are modem only, the zoom is cheaper then the motorola.

You dont want to buy an all in one device because is is just a crappy router mixed with a crappy modem and sold at a premium, then when the crap dies you have to replace both.

How big of a home do you have, how many devices, and do you want dual band (dual band means it can use the 2.4ghz band and the 5 ghz band to provide more bandwidth assuming you have devices that support dual band).

Also what is your total budget?
