The best value modem for XR1000
I would like to know if a CM2000 would be a good match for my XR1000. Or if I should choose a different model.

A modem is a modem is a modem. There is very little link between what it does and what your router does.
You just want something that works with your unnamed ISP.
This probably isn't the place to ask for informed advice. Neither the XR1000 nor the CM2000 are Nighthawk WiFi Routers, the topic for this section. They have their own bolt holes.
Try:
- You are saying the XR 1000 is NOT a Nighthawk Wi-Fi router??? Did you look at the specs of XR1000?? I don't get it what are you talking about.

The specs (Data Sheet) you quote clearly say "Nighthawk Pro Gaming Router".
That is not the same, in Netgear speak, as Nighthawk WiFi Routers. This means that ti has a different support bolt hole in this community. It does that because it uses a different operating system and firmware, written by a different outfit, DumaOS. That's how it gets to charge so much more than standard Nighthawk WiFi Routers.
I mentioned only this to avoid you wasting your time asking questions in the wrong place.
Did you bother to follow, or even read, the link that I posted?
If you want to know about the XR1000, and to get feedback from other owners, click that link.
- Thanks for clarifying the "term"....I thought Nighthawk Wi-Fi routers are all the routers called Nighthawk...
