2 Netgear routers

[greenbob]

  Is there any benefit to combining my older AC2350 Nighthawk R7500 to the newer Nighthawk AX6 AX4300 model Rax45? We have a mid to large 2 story home with just a few dead spots.

You could use the 7500 as a wired AP in the area to help cover some dead spots. 
Channels would need to be far appart on each router. 

I would lower the power output of the 7500 router from 100% to 50% to help lessen noise and interferences between the two routers. 

Distances between the two routers should be at least 30 feet or more.

Put the old one in Access Point mode to provide more coverage
