The old Shaw Cisco modem/router couldn't get a signal to the top floor of my house. So I bought a Netgear Nighthawk and the signal is vastly improved.
There is no way a company can manufacture a top end wireless router and modem in one package at a cost effective price. By bridging your getting better signal and faster transfer speeds (if you go with a mid/high router). Due to the fact you are delegating two tasks with two pieces of equipment.
Plus you can get better control over the configuration. Not that I use that mind you. I just like that I can actually get a fast signal in my house.
