CM1100 and RAX120 Interference
Since the other thread was closed for comments, I wanted to post that this is still very much an issue. https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Routers-with-WiFi-6-AX/CM1000-Modem-and-RAX120-r...

It would appear that the CM1100 is insufficiently sheilded - at least not well enough to prevent the RAX120 from knocking it offline when the two are in close proximity. How close? You'll just have to play with it. For me, a few inches was too close, and about 2 - 3 feet was fine.
Thanks to thenorn_2012.
I have found that vertical clearance helps. You can have them really close with one above the other. I have my router on a shelf just about the modem now. I have not experienced any addtitional issues since my initial post. The router and modem are both rock solid, assuming the modem isn't near the router antenna.

Your teachings are wise. I, too, have elevated my RAX120 with effective results.
