What is thae actual problem which you are trying to solve? Are you
interested in preserving the wireless router functions of the C3700, or

Forget "class A/B/C"; it's a long-obsolete concept. Why do you care

Trying to replace the wireless functions of the C3700, have had performance issues and several people have suggested the AC1750 for better prformance, as for the LAN subnet I would like to keep it the same as I have existing.
