The upstairs router is a D-Link DIR-880L and doesn't appear to have an access point mode (router/bridge).

I have had it set up with both in router mode since Sunday morning and so far, nothing seems to be amiss, though I read there can be conflicts because of NAT being enabled on the C7000v2 Modem.
The only things recorded in the event log on the C700v2 are 2.4GHz WiFi channel changes.
