Any benefit to choosing this modem router combo instead of buying the two separate? I worry if one goes bad I have to replace both as a combo. null

My question to you. What is the price difference? I've always used a combo router/modem without issues. If you have a large # of wireless items. Buy a good router to handle them all. I have over 20 items on my Nighthawk 1900.

I like having the one unit instead of two separate devices. Setup is very simple and quick.

If you buy them separately, you have the option to upgrade one or the other. But if you're not an "enthusiast" per se, then the 2-in-1 combos should suffice.

I like the fact it is 2 in 1... One less device for power, desk space, and one less expense for a higher end cable modem. This bundles everything in one device where buying higher end of each would cost more.

With how quickly electronics get outdated, I would bet that you'll be ready to upgrade by the time this one goes bad. I've yet to have a Netgear die on me. They always need to be upgraded before that happens. Usually every 1-3 years.
