Router modem combo with phone system hookup?
I want the very best modem router combo, or could split them up, but a must, my wife needs to be able to plug her phone system into it for her home based business. I am sick and tired of the terrible combo unit I have through Comcast business, my wifi constantly drops out. Please help me. Thank you

I would strongly recommend a modem/voice device seperate from the router. You tend to get much better performance with them seperate as well as then you control the firmware on the router. Versus when its a combo unit, the isp updates them (or not).
If you're on comcast, you have several options for modems with voice. The 2 I'd recommend?
CM2050V
CM1150V
They're both gigabit capable.
Then you'd just want to choose a router for what you're doing.
a lot of factors go into that including home size, what the home is made of, what its used for (gaming/streaming/etc), and budget.
Something to keep in mind, comcast business tends to be much more responsive than comcast consumer side. have they checked out the line or the modem to see if there's an issue?
