Ac1200 wireless router - can I use as WiFi only?

I have a netgear ac1200, which I used with my Plusnet dsl connection as both router and modem.

I’ve recent switches to Sky Fibre who provide their own router and WiFi, but the WiFi isn’t very strong. I can’t seem to figure out how to use the Sky box as the modem and the netgear as the WiFi base station. Is this possible?

    Hi Hook8519,

    If you're using the Sky Fibre as the modem, did you turn off the router side of that device? Vise versa with the AC1200.

    Please let me know. :]
