Removing Arcadyan Smart Modem and Installing Nighthawk Mesh WIFI6 AX1800?
G,Day Netgear Community, I have purchased the above modem / WIFI6 Mesh system...I had an "Arcadyan Smart ac Modem" and I am simply trying to remove the o...
To keep the story short - the Nighthawk Mesh WIFI6 AX1800 router is Ethernet WAN, not a VDSL(2) device. As such, it can't be connected direct to the two wire VDSL link. You still need either a plain DSL modem, or look for the ability to operate the current device in bridge mode, so the DSL link data becomes available on an Ethernet port. The DSL termination (data wise) could be done on the Netgear router.
Alternate - much easier - keep the provider modem/router in place, and connect the Nighthawk Mesh in Access Point mode for doing the LAN distribution only.
