R7000P to Frontier Arris NVG443b - can it be done?
I've been unsuccessful hooking up my R7000 AC2300 to Frontier. The existing is Arris NVG443B. Have I chosen the wrong unit? Tried going from Arris LAN to R7000 internet and lost internet all around...

I don't know what that means. A wireless access point is called that
because it provides wireless access, but when a router is configured as
a WAP, its LAN Ethernet ports should still work, so it would not be
"wi-fi only".

I don't know what that means. As I said, properly connected, even in
full-function router mode, an R7000P should not greatly disturb the main
router to which it's connected.

As I said, adding a WAP (such as an R7000P configured as a WAP)
should be a reasonable way to go for improved wireless coverage.

I don't know what that is, either.

It all started working as intended yesterday afternoon and life is good again. Thanks for the help! The Nighthawk puts out a strong signal and is easy to connect to the WiFi which maintains a strong signal throughout our house and walls!
