And the WiFi usually isn't that great. And the firmware usually isn't that
great. And...well.

I'm too old-school Unix; I still think "do one thing, and do it well"
should be a mantra. (I know, no longer PC in this age of--ugh--systemd.)
So get a cable modem that can be put in bridge mode (or, as in the case of
Comcast with a static IP, as close as possible). Get a good hardware
firewall--either an appliance, or RYO in Fedora or your distro of choice.
Get one or more meshable WAPs. Yes, Ubiquiti UniFi is still the most
professional-grade that's close to retail pricing, even after their price
increases.
