Compatibility between Netgear CM1100 and R8000P?
The models are not listed in the "Model" field for some reason, but hopefully someoen finds this post anyway. I have two Nighthawk X6Ss (R8000P) routers that are fantastic--on 300Mbps, at any rate. My concern is that we are about to move to 1GB service, and we've bought a CM1100 cable modem for the event. Will this modem an these routers work well together? Will we be able to get the speeds we would expect? Are there any concerns any of you have, maybe? I would really like this transition to be a smooth one, and that hasn't always been the case when I've moved to new services. Thanks, in advance!
CM1100 modem is compatible to R8000P router. You need to install the CM1100 modem to setup internet from your cable provider. Once the internet is working, you need to reconfigure the R8000P to detect the new cable modem connection.

- Unfortunately, that article does not address the Nighthawk X6S AC4000 (model R8000P). I have requested information about whether the CM1100 and the R8000P can work well together. I currently have 2 X6Ss and we are upgrading to 1GB service with a CM1100 cable modem. I would like any info anyone could share about if these will even work together, and if so, can anyone guess how well or if abutting surcharge will need to be done. Thanks in advance.
