[FRIAM] cable modem?

[Gillian Densmore]

What's folks experience with all in one WiFi+modem? I ask because nighthawk
has a bunch of refurbed modems (prefer refurbed just to reduce waste). But
if it's actually a legit better idea to go wifi and modem for whatever
reasons, what're good wifirouters then?
