    Wifi Routers - Which is best? Seperate ADSL modem or built in

    I currently have a wireless router with built in ADSL. Its 300mbps with 100mbps LAN and its very basic. I want to upgrade to a 450mbps with 1gbit LAN. Should I go for a wireless router with built in ADSL modem or get a separate ADSL modem that I connect to the WAN port of my router?
