Will this setup work?

Question

We currently have the Xfi Gateway. We have the whole home DVR with an Xi6 wireless box on one 4K TV. We are considering getting a Google Nest router and point, and at the same time get our own modem. However, I am seeing conflicting information on whether the Xi6 will work without the Gateway. Here is the setup we are considering:

Modem: Netgear CM1000

Router and Point: Google Nest

Will this work with wireless Xi6 on our 4k TV?

Thanks!

No, the main dvr talks to the gateway, the gateway then talks to the Xi6 . If you take out the gateway, you end communication https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/wireless-tv-box-faqs

Thanks for the response.OK...how about this:We get a XG1v4 for the 4K TV (installed with coax)...that will be where the DVR is now.We get an Xi3 to go where the Dvr used to be.Would we then be able to use our own modem and the Google Nest? Thanks!
