NETGEAR Nighthawk C7800 AC3200 add a modem behind it
Hi,
Did someone successfully added a modem behind the C7800?
Like cable -> modem -> C7800
There are known issues with C7800 and Xfinity which requires a restart almost everyday and I do not want to change my C7800 or the provider so want to install another modem in between.
Thanks for your feedback

The C7800 already has a modem built in so it requires it to be connected to a ISP RG6 coax cable line.

- Hi,
I am asking if it is possible to use an external modem instead of the built-in.
I know that it does include a modem but as I explained in my post there is an issue with it and my current provider and it has to be restarted almost daily.The C7800 can only be used as a gateway mode or in modem mode as a stand alone modem. No other modems can be in front of the C7800.
Maybe if you post us a screen capture of the cable connections page of the C7800, we can help figure out what is going on with the C7800.
