The R7850 is AC3200 not AC3000. But AC3000 is not a reliable guide to model number. Many devices come with an AC tag, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and other brands, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds. Your footer says R7900. Is that it?
Two routers = headaches.

I have tried with and without AP mode of AC3000 router no difference.
Yes, but how did you go about it? You need to set these things up properly. You can't just run around plug things in and out, hoping for the best.
Put the router into AP mode, and then restart your network.
If you visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
you can feed in your model number and find the documentation for your hardware.

I was reading about bridge mode, but I dont see that option in both google fiber modem/router or Ac3000 router.
You'll have to ask Google about that. Or tell people what the modem/router thing is. Again, the model number is the only true guide.
