need advice on pairing Xfinity router/modem XB6 with Netgear Nighthawk MK63 AX1800
Hi, I'm relatively new to addressing my own internet setup and frankly a bit overwhelmed by the idea of fudging the whole thing up. I've read some other discussions re bridging a Xfinity modem router...

I'd actually look at getting rid of that xfinity gateway unless you use the xfinity security features.
I'd look at picking up a CM1000 when you get the MK system. That'd avoid having to pay the rental fees and would pay each other off quickly

Fast response and thank you! I have already downloaded some instructions on assigning the gateway to bridge function. I had read somewhere about the double NAT issue, which is new to me (will have to learn more about that so to understand it). I will certainly move or dup my question to the mesh community. I appreciate your time! I get how frustrating it is to have folks ask questions without doing some prep work, so I'm trying my best to learn at least a bit before I ask....
