I am by no means a networking expert but here are a few comments/thoughts:
I’m presuming that your question arises because you recently connected to the NBN and got a new NBN compatible modem/router? The Netgear modem/routers could still be used as routers for either ethernet or wifi networks, it’s just that your new NBN compatible modem/router probably already meets all your needs in this regard. However, if you were needing to extend you network in general - or had a number of devices physically some distance from your new modem/router that might benefit from a more local router you could certainly intergrate the old netgear into your system. The configuration of such a setup would depend on how/why you wanted to do that. The reality for most, though, is that the new modem router will meet all their needs and there would be no need/advantage in complicating their set-up with a second router. Just my musings ;o) Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
