When my cable modem went teats up, I returned it to Comcast and got a
new one that is significantly faster than the old one. I was offered a
combo modem/router, seemed decent enough, but it only had a couple of
ports for wired connections, and I already had a good wired/wireless
router with the G and N bands and more ports for wired connections.

You can always put a switch in there to split out the ports. That is a
lot better than using a hub.
Essentially that is what the ports are on the back of the router
anyway. I have a 24 port switch in the computer room and a single Cat
5 to the router next to my chair here.

I have two switches on the router...one in my office and one in my
wife's office.
