Thanks for the quick reply.
No I have not tried that yet.
Just enabled access point mode on the Netgear router and plugged in the ethernet cable into the Arris.
So far no issues. Did a speed test and it appears somewhat faster than before.

Anyhow, big mahalos for the quick response and advice! Saved me $160 on buying another router.

Maybe the firmware on the R7000 was updated and caused an issue. tough to say 100% what cuased it. But a double nat can cause conflicts.
