AC750 compatibility with Arris G36 Wi-Fi Cable Modem
Arris tech support says the AC750 or any wireless extender will supercede the wireless functions of the G36, i.e. we can use one or the other but not both. I am not confident in this newbe's advice....

Which AC750 do you have in mind?
AC750 is not a reliable guide to model number. Many devices come with an AC tag, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and other brands, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.
Look at the label on the device for the model number.
You can usually put as many wifi sources a you like around the place, but you have to be careful to set them up in ways that don't interfere with each other. Then you have to think about the wifi clients that you have.
I don't know what you have in mind by "supersede". Rather than starting with a question about compatibility, you might do better to explain what you are trying to achieve. Faster wifi? Wider coverage (bigger area)?
Thanks for your response. I was using the word "supercede" (correct spelling is "supersede")to mean that, while I can use the Ex3700 with Arris, the extender will supersede (replace) the functionality of the G36 (as I was told by the Arris Tech Support person). The question of compatibility remains.
My purpose in using the Ex3700, as it was for an installation with a previous model of an Arris wifi/router modem, is to "achieve. Faster wifi? (with) Wider coverage (bigger area)".

The question of compatibility remains.I thought it worth checking that you meant "replace" and not imply that it would render the thing inoperative when added to a network. That can happen.
