I have Xfinity cable and no modem. I think the issue is that my (current)C6300 netgear router may also act as a modem. So I may not have purchased correctly. Do you think I can keep the r6900p and just put a modem in front of it? Thanks for the reply I appreciate it!
Someone ought to ask the question, why did cluelessoldman replace the C6300 in the first place?
I was relaxing it because it seemed like my signal was decreasing over time, like the range seemed to be decreasing. Also I have had this router for more than a few years now, I figured a new and better one would work. The associates at Best Buy suggested this router, of course it now seems I shouldn’t have listened to them!!! Thx for replying though I do appreciate it.

But there is nothing stopping you from getting a more capable router and using that behind your current modem/router.
