Changing modem for my RAX45
I am thinking of upgrading my modem. I currently have a Nighthawk AX4300 6 Stream router. What kind of setup work will I have to do with the router once I change the modem?

The best bet?
Check with your isp to see what's compatible. We can recommend all kinds of things but if its not compatible with your isp, its a bit pointless.

Thank you! I am just wondering what kind of changes need to be made to the router if I install a new modem (CM1100 for example)?

What modem do you have? Is it just a modem, is it a modem/router combo device?
If its simply a modem, get the modem activated first.
then power it off, hook up the router (powered off), power on the modem, give it a few minutes and then power on the router.
