Nighthawk AC1900 R7000 Questions
I have a question: My wife bought me a AC1900 Smart router (DOCSIS3.0) because it is compatible with Xfinity. I told her I may have a problem because I have the AC5300 router. Can the two be u...
Slightly confusing model numbers there. "AC" is usually a wifi speed thingy rather than a model number.
Netgear makes a bunch of AC1900 boxes.DOCSIS suggests a modem, possibly the C7000
Your AC5300 is probably the R8500, but that is just a guess.
Sorry, you are right. The C7000 is the cable modem/router and the R8500 is my router. CAn I use both even though the AC 1900 (R7000) is a cable modem/router? Would it be an issue having two modems in the home network or should it work fine?
Yes you can I would suggest to make the C7000 in modem only mode so routing conflicts do not happen.

I am assuming there are instructions on making the cable modem/router as modem only online, correct? If so, thanks for the tip.
