Can I use AC1200 6230 rather than AC1200 6220 to add to CM500V modem
I wanted to buy the AC1200 6220 from Best Buy to add to my CM500V modem but they were out of stk. I can get an AC1200 6230 from Amazon are they the same. Can I use either one.
Thanks for your quick replay. I have Comcast Xfinity service and Best Buy sells Xfinity certified NetGear products (AC1200 router/mod #6220). I didn't notice the different model numbers when I purchased from Amazon. After, I assumed the model numbers were different by store but the product was the same. There are some differences between the 6220 and the 6230 and wanted be sure either would work with my modem.

Your modem does not care about the router, and vice versa. Just pick a router that does what you want.
