I got one recommended by Comcast for my set-up. I got the Motorola MT771 24X8 DOCSIS 3.0 AC1900 Dual Band WiFi gigabit Router with Voice.
It was recommended by Comcast for my set up. I already have a Gigabit switch incase I need more than 4 ports, but I didn't want extra equipment sitting on my station unless I had to.

Ya I would check with the ISP to see if this model modem will work fully on there 1Gb plan if thats something your looking to use. Most ISP required a D3.1 modem with 32x8 channels for 1Gb services.
