We kept our old router... the parents computers are on the one one and us gamers are on the new one... works great!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you can however I would not advise that because the router's configuration utility changes and it would just be smoother to manually reserve those IP addresses
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have never tried it; it may or may not work. Either ask Netgear, or just configure them manually (preferred choice). Sometimes, mixing configurations may work but mess something else.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't think you can. They have different configs. I tried to use my backup from my Nighthawk AC1900 and it didn't work. I had to manually type in the my IP address reserves.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't recommend trying to port over a backup from the 6700 as the 8000 has some settings that are not present in the earlier models. you might screw things up. i'd suggest copying and pasting individuals ip addresses over that way you can put them in faster without having to write them all down.
