Possibly. If there is already a router "upstream" of your device, you are asking for trouble.
Two routers on your network can cause headaches. For example, you can end up with local address problems. Among other things, the other router can misdirect addresses that the Netgear router usually handles, such as routerlogin.net or the usual IP address for a router, 192.168.1.1.

I get the conflict with the double routers. How ever my previous basement suite I was able to log into it, I actually bought it while in that place. It was hooked up : modem> Router> Ethernet cable ran downstairs > my router
Only difference I can see is the booster but I have no way of removing that

The obvious answer is to switch your R7000 to AP mode.
