AC1900 Wifi Cable Modem Router C7000v2 question...
In December 2020, I purchased the C7000v2 for my internet w/ Xfinity because my old modem/router combo went out on me. With the modem listed above, and my lack of knowledge when it comes to intern...
The only hardwired devices I have are my PC and XB1. Everything else is either phones, streaming devices, kindles, and laptops. Nothing was actually getting bogged down, I was just taking a safe approach (hence the not-being-smart w/ technology comment). When I upgraded, I was still paying the same price regardless of getting gig speed or 600mbps. That's why I went for the bigger option.
If I use the the C7000 as an access point, can I then use the CM1200 (with it having 4 lan ports) as a hardwired connection for my PC and XB1 after changing settings on the C7000 so that can be used for my wifi connected stuff? Or am I just just going in circles with your suggestions? I don't want to sound like I'm ignoring your replies...just trying to see about covering all options before I start purchasing stuff and then finding out it doesn't work...

No you can't. The C7000 is a combo device. If you're not using the modem side of it, the c7000 as an access point wouldn't have routing capabilities. And the CM1200 isn't a router so it doesn't have them. .
Ok awesome, thanks for the assistance!
