Finally, depending on the strength of the wireless signal or if there are any interference, you may not get the 100Mbps advertised.

I recommend you looking in to a wireless Power line solution by Linksys.
All you need to do is plug the modem in to the source power line hub.
Plug any additional wireless hub in rooms of your house.
This will ensure 100% signal where ever you go.

Thanks
I agree with you on getting a separate modem and router, with the exception of the particular modem/router in the OP. It has had great reviews, similar to other dedicated routers in its segment.
