Should I get a separate router and modem or a combo?

Hello everyone,,
I have Comcast and my router is on the way out. I’m wondering if I should just replace my router or get a combo unit.
I’m currently using the Comcast modem and a Netgear nighthawk. We have 3 floor to cover with the router being in the middle. We have several cell phones, two tabs, 2 pcs, 5 nest cameras, an Apple TV, and 6 Alexa’s connected.
I’d love some brand/model recommendations as well. Please and thank you.

Hello,
Cause you have 3 floor to cover and several client devices to be connected, if you want to replace the current product, it is suggested to use the comcast modem with TP-Link whole-home wifi system product, which is called Deco. Like Deco M5, Deco M9 plus.

They can connect to each other by wired cabld wireless; that is to say, you can locate each one at each floor to ensure the wifi coverage and signal strength.
May it help.
Good day.

Cause you already have a wireless router, if the whole house is running under the same power circuit, you can use powerline adapters with wifi function to extend the wifi network.

Or you can buy a Deco series to replace the current router and relocate the Deco nodes to extend the wifi range.
