New CM2050V and old R7900P

[jfausmith]

Hello,  I am replacing my old CM1000 router with a new CM2050V router this week and I wanted to know if my current WiFi router R7900P which is about 5-6 years old.  If it doesn't work well with the new router which WiFi router should I get?

Thanks for your help with this.

Yes. Just be aware that the CM modem supports 2.5Gb connection rates which the R7900P doesn't so when you connect it to the CM modem, the max rate will be 1000Mpbs.

FYI about the R7900P and EoL:

Why the upgrade? 

The CM1000 is good to up to gigabit speeds. So unless you pay for faster (and have a router that has a 2.5gig port) you won't see any benefit.
