Question about MK73S system
I just bought this system, but in reading about and watching install video, I see mention that a MODEM is involved. We do not have a modem for our TV/Cable and the current system we have from our Cable/CPU Internet provider is a Router...(power and ethernet cable only as far as connections go)
My question is: will this system work the same as what I already have, or is this one designed to be used with a modem only.
As you may have already figured out, I am NOT highly tech savvy.. Thank You,
Greg

Re: Question about MK73S system
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
If the ISP modem as a built in router, This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem. https://kb.netgear.com/25891/DMZ-on-NETGEAR-routers

3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the NG router to the modem, LAN to LAN configure AP mode on the NG router.
