Probably. Especially of the modem provides the connection to the Internet.
Depends on what that router is and what the modem is. AC1000 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.
Manuals are always a good place to start.
