Qestion about Wireless Routers and Cable Modems

My Comcast Cable wireless is not the greatest. It frequently loses connections and causes problems. I have a few wireless streaming stereos that enable me to have music in the garage, backyard, and kitchen separately from what's going on in the living room. Everything generally works well until I have a party and then for some reason, the wireless goes on the blink. I'm thinking that maybe too many of my friends are accessing my wireless for their phones and then my stereo goofs up.

To solve this problem, I bought a new wireless router that has 8 channels. Basically, this is for gaming and streaming. I'm guessing that I can dedicate channels to specific devices.

All that said, when I opened the box, I found that I need to have a modem. My current setup has a combo router/modem from Comcast, which I will return to them. I need to buy a modem.

I'm looking for any advice on modems. I am guessing that some are better than others and in order to take advantage of my router benefits, I probably need to have a certain amount of modem capability to feed the router. Any advice would be appreciated, I'm not very tech savvy these days.
