Connecting Nighthawk AX5400 with AT&T gateway via bridge mode

Hello, wanted some advice or opinions on my setup with my nighthawk AX5400 bridged to AT&T’s gateway work well? My plan will be the 1000gb plan. Please let me know if this will work well. My house is 1 floor about 2,400 square feet. Best Buy told me I would have no problems.

Thanks

    each device maker calls it something different. 

    Are you planning on putting the netgear in access point mode or the att device in its passthrough/modem only mode? 

    They will connect but it just needs setting up properly to prevent a double nat.

        You mean the RAX50?
        its a pretty rock solid router.

        Sadly, its usually not the router that is a bottleneck for most peoples network but the device you're using and distance/interference.
