Xr1000 and Ubiquiti Air Cube
Whats the best way to connect my modem/router to a new router i bought? I got this router hoping to reach further as i spend most of my time outside. I read a bit about how you're not supposed to have two routers but im just starting to understand.
My isp provided me with an Ubiquiti Air cube dual band. I bought a Netgear nighthawk xr1000v2. Connection reaches further than i thought it would. But im having more problems than i was before.
Are the two devices even compatible? Will there be issues with my isp? Should i consider buying my own modem? Is that even possible? Sorry for my **bleep**ty explanation! I need help!

- Connect the XR WAN/Internet port to the Ubiq LAN port, in terms of physical connection that's all you need to do. I'd then suggest putting the XR WAN IP found on the System Information page into the DMZ function on the Ubiq. Try that first and see how you get on.
Otherwise, what are the issues you're having specifically?- Hey thanks for the reply! I talked to ISP and asked them if putting the AC in bridge mode was something they could do. They said adding the xr would slow down the whole system and suggested I'd get best results if i add another link in...?
Like, isn't that what I'm trying to do??
Also, I did see several reviews saying aircubes aren't that great for bridge mode anyway.
I'm kinda stuck. I can't even have fun gaming because I get constant lag and matches take forever to load.- It's not going to slow down the whole network, by link in do they mean literally adding another internet line in?
You don't need bridge mode, just the DMZ option I mentioned will be fine
