“I have a combined modem/router by Netgear(model C7100V) so I don't pay monthly fees to rent a router from Xfinity. Can i connect the google mesh router to my Netgear without issue? Are there any challenges with this set up that I need to be aware of?”

A combination of your router/modem combo and Google Nest WiFi router can work but it would likely cause a Double NAT which is the case of two routers with each having their own private network. Although this is not always an issue, it can be an issue when playing online games or port forwarding. If it causes problems, we recommend putting your current router/modem combo into bridge mode. Once in bridge mode, you may choose whether or not to turn Wi-Fi off on your combo.
