It doesn't sound right and is something that might also hit whatever you buy to replace the R6400v2.
How are you feeding the house now? The CM1150V is a modem only device, with no router. You'll need that to connect more than one device to the outside world. Is there soemthing ion there that you haven't told us about.
If the sprog just wants decent wifi in his bolt hole, just slap the R6400v2 into an Ethernet outlet near him. But first there is that router.

I'd spend some time wandering around here and reading about that stuff before going down that road. RAX kit seems to be work in progress for Netgear. (The standards still haven't settled down.) Not a pretty sight.
Old hands tout the R7800 as the "go to" device for a simple life, but I see no sign that it does "port aggregation". But why go down that road just to beef up the local wifi?
