1. Anyone have experience with the combination modem/router positive or negative or should I stay with the separate units?
2. If you purchased your own combination modem/router what specifically did you purchase?
3. Opinions on purchase or rent from Xfinity? I understand it is $15/month to rent. Do they tack on any taxes or fees to that charge?
About 5-6 years ago I purchased a NetGear nighthawk (modem/router combo). It works fine with Comcast, no issues. It's top speed is 800 mbps.
(Amazon.com) $200.00
