Netgear Nighthawk ac1900 r7000 replace Comcast Blast cable modem/wifi steps?

Greetings,

Does anyone know what steps to take when switching out the Comcast Blast 200mb to the Netgear Nighthawk ac1900 r7000?

I have the manual for the netgear but not sure what to start with because this is a replacement setup.

 

Much Thanks!

       "C7000" and "R7000" are spelled differently for a reason.  Only one
    is a cable modem+router.

       I wouldn't expect it to matter much.  You may need to provide your
    new MAC address to Comcast.  (Or configure the C7000 to use the same MAC
    address as the old modem(+router).)
