better to have the router separate so that you have full control over it and not crippled/locked down by your ISP and have to call in to change every little setting.

Wouldn't the item below be a better, newer choice? Similar spec but Wi-Fi 6? Regular price is $199 now, used to be about $280

Better also so that the modem stays cool and doesn't progress to having multiple connection failures. The are many reports of these combo units ("gateways") soft-failing after a couple of years of service. I've experienced this twice, where the symptom is periodic loss of Internet connection, progressing to multiple times daily.

Maybe they've solved the cooling issue on higher quality gateways, but I wouldn't chance it at over $200.

Would recommend against combo units.

1) One bad lighting strike can pass outside grounding frying your unit via cable.I had this happen with a spectrum modem. (Was replaced free).

2) Internal antennas are weak and have low power output per FCC testing. https://fccid.io/2AF5PMG8702 This specific unit only peaks out at 746mW on unii3 channels. 477mW on unii-1. Modern high end units are 1W unii-1+3 with real antennas.

3)* If youre on spectrum service, there's no real point investing into a modem to start with. They have 4 different models in circulation with 2.5G ports. EN2251 and ES2251 are Puma7 based, EU2251 and ET2251 are BCM3390 based. All of them receive updates more frequently than 3rd party options.
