However, I personally am not a fan of gateway devices as it becomes a central point of failure. They're harder to troubleshoot and my guess is that they probably don't last as long as their separate counterparts. I have no data to back that up, but I imagine that they probably don't. The wireless on these gateway devices tends to be subpar compared to that of a good wireless router.
Another issue with renting one of the newer gateways from Comcast is that they will attempt to activate/host one of their xfinitywifi home/neighborhood hotspots on it.
