Is it better to get two separate router/modem or a combo? null

Question

Sluggo · Accepted Answer

I would always go separate. Here is why. If the WiFi goes bad, with the all in one, then you loose both your modem and your WiFi.

For me it's a matter of personal choice and convenience. I have a separate modem and router. I went this route so I would better find and fix any net connection problems

usually it doesn't make a difference, its just a matter of saving space

Personal preference, that said I say yes. While you pay a bit more, if one aspect goes down, you don't lose both pieces of hardware. Also, there are seasons when the modem is fine but the router may need to be upgraded because of ISP contract speeds, which would mean upgraded both items because of one aspect. Thus, I have preferred to keep my modem and router separate. 

My two cents, have a great day!

No, I believe it's best to get a combo so you know they'll work together. You don't want to get two separate things and then find out they don't work together.
