Hey now,
quick question...Usually I just use the cable modem that RR supplies, then my own router for more than one computer. Would it make sense to find a router/modem combo (if one exsists)? Or is it better to just buy a quality modem, and a quality router? The one that RR includes loses its connection a lot and I read some reviews that w/ a better modem you lose connections a lot less. Any recommendations or good setups? Thanks!

Seperate every time, including AP.

It's easier to trouble shoot. You can upgrade with affecting your whole system. All comb units are a compromise. Built buy the low bidder.
